Manchester City took the lead against Leicester City through top goalscorer Raheem Sterling on Saturday evening.Pep Guardiola's side have all but wrapped up the league title already - a win over Leicester would send them 16 points clear of Manchester United.Sterling put the runaway league leaders in front against Leicester, tapping in from two yards out after fantastic work from Kevin De Bruyne.The 26-year-old Belgian midfielder is the favourite to win the Premier League Player of the Year award but Mohamed Salah is still in the reckoning.“I don’t have words to express my gratitude,” Pep said on Friday, when asked about De Bruyne’s efforts. “One of the best players we have, no doubt about that, is the guy who runs the most and fights the most.“He is an incredible example for the rest of the players and for the Academy. He is one of the most talented players I have ever seen in my life and without the ball he makes this kind of intensity that we have every three days.”His assist for Sterling's opener was nothing short of world class.Needing no second invitation, De Bruyne's first time cross evaded all the Leicester defenders and, despite missing an absolute sitter last week, Sterling stood no chance of missing once again.Just stunning. Producing magic like this has become the norm for the supremely talented former Chelsea youngster.

Benjamin Mendy's brilliant tweet

The injured Man City left-back has earned a reputation as a bit of a wizard on social media and he was quick to react to De Bruyne's brilliant piece of play.

Even Mendy doesn't understand how De Bruyne does it. We can only watch and admire.

De Bruyne has assisted three goals in his previous four Premier League outings.

He'll be the one to watch when Guardiola's side face Basel in the first leg of their last 16 tie in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
