Pep Guardiola hailed Kevin De Bruyne as "one of the best players in the history of Manchester City" after the Belgian scored two goals in their 4-2 victory at Crystal Palace.

De Bruyne cancelled out Jean-Philippe Mateta's early opener before Rico Lewis fired the visitors into the lead less than two minutes after half-time.
