'Everything he touched was magic': Joleon Lescott lauds Kevin De Bruyne and says Man City star 'did not miss a beat' in thrashing of Leeds after netting twice... as Owen Hargreaves claims his thumping second goal was reminiscent of Steven Gerrard

Joleon Lescott hailed an 'exceptional' performance from Kevin De Bruyne and claims the Manchester City midfielder 'did not miss a beat' in their thrashing of Leeds.

The Belgium international netted twice as Pep Guardiola's men ran out 7-0 winners to go four points clear at the top of the Premier League table.

His goals were two of eight shots he had on the night and he was also handed the BT Sport man of the match award.

De Bruyne scored once in each half to help send City four points clear at the top of the table

An ankle injury and contracting coronavirus has limited the 30-year-old to just six Premier League starts this campaign for the champions, but Lescott believes De Bruyne produced 'magic' at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday evening.
