De Bruyne notched up his 100th goal for City courtesy of a beautiful brace in the win at Selhurst Park.
His first cancelled out the Eagles opener, scored by Jean-Philippe Mateta – and it was thing of real beauty.
KDB cut inside before firing a truly unstoppable shot past the helpless Dean Henderson.

Rico Lewis, a menace in midfield throughout, put us in front just after the break and Erling Haaland scored his 19th Premier League goal of the season with a cool, calm finish after being played in by the energetic De Bruyne.
Then came KDB’s milestone moment and it was a goal worthy of his century celebration as he slammed home a left foot drive.
Substitute Odsonne Edouard pulled one back late on but it didn’t stop the three points coming back to Manchester.
