De Bruyne was, typically, far more modest when he was quizzed about his evening's work and was already thinking of City's next test, away at West Ham on Sunday. He was at Stamford Bridge for two years, during which he spent spells on loan at Genk (where he scored twice in 13 appearances) and Werder Bremen (10 goals in 33 games).

At the age of 14, he left his home and joined Genk’s Academy. At his time in the youth system, he started gaining media attention and became a star in his teens. I am very pleased for him because of course scoring four goals in the decisive part of the league right now is so important. Foden secured the most combined votes from the public and a Premier League panel, to win the young player trophy for a second time. I think my performances this season have been good and I am happy that I have been able to contribute with goals and assists throughout the season."

It was a scintillating solo display which meant De Bruyne now has 19 goals in all competitions this season - and it is fair to say his manager was impressed.

Only one other player - Dimitri Payet - then of Marseille, now of West Ham - in the top five European leagues created more chances than De Bruyne's 112 last season. Chelsea duo Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas created 101 and 95 respectively. Discussing the best goal of his four, De Bruyne told Sky Sports: "The third one, that strike is the cleanest, I hit it really hard in the corner. That was the purest.

Most notably, the England forward ensured the UK government reversed their decision to halt the Free School Meals vouchers and has continued campaigning for those who need help since.

De Bruyne said: "I want to reach the highest level possible as a player and I think the most important thing is that at the end of the season we can be happy and maybe have some titles." For now, though, it appears they don't need him - especially with De Bruyne in goalscoring form like this.
