Kevin De Bruyne left wanting more goals after Wolves rout

Kevin De Bruyne hailed a special night but felt he should have scored five after netting four times in Manchester City's thrashing of Wolves.

De Bruyne was the star of the show as City ran out 5-1 winners at Molineux to restore a three-point lead at the top of the Premier League.

With just two games to play and a goal difference plus seven better than second-placed Liverpool, City are closing in on a fourth title in five seasons.

De Bruyne's stunning performance came just a day after City announced they had agreed a deal to bolster their attack with the prolific Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland next season.

De Bruyne appeared to offer a nod towards the club's stunning capture by celebrating his third goal with arms outstretched in the manner of Haaland, but he insisted that was just coincidence.

"I did a couple of interviews and they said (it was like) Haaland, but I didn't even know," he said. "I just did it because I scored three and that never happens."

After thrashing Newcastle 5-0 at the weekend, City have scored 10 goals since their heart-breaking Champions League semi-final loss at Real Madrid.

De Bruyne said: "The feeling is still not nice, but you need to move on. We try to now win the title and
