Kevin De Bruyne felt referee Michael Oliver made the correct call in awarding Manchester City a penalty in the 3-1 win over Arsenal and says the team were good value for the three points.

Belgium international De Bruyne opened the scoring at the Etihad Stadium as Pep Guardiola's men outclassed the Gunners to make it 31 points from a possible 33 in the Premier League this term.

The visitors were left disgruntled, though, when Oliver pointed to the spot for Nacho Monreal's challenge on Raheem Sterling. Sergio Aguero converted and, despite Alexandre Lacazette reducing the arrears, Gabriel Jesus' strike compounded their misery.
