"He took an incredible penalty, he took it perfectly. Then there is the amount of assists, how he runs. He played really well, like all the team. He likes to play football, he doesn't feel the pressure and likes to compete at a high standard," he added.
The first goal of the match came in the 20th minute as Kevin De Bruyne netted the ball into the goal through a penalty kick. Wolves Saiss had brought down De Bruyne inside the penalty area and as a result, De Bruyne was awarded the penalty kick.
