Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has claimed that Kevin De Bruyne is yet to hit his best form this season.

City won the game 3-1, with the De Bruyne's strike adding to Erling Haaland's first-half brace. Leandro Trossard pulled one back for the Seagulls as City went back to winning ways after going down to Liverpool last weekend.

Speaking after the game, Guardiola opined that he expected more from his assistant captain, as Daily Mail reports.

"Kevin can be better. He is not playing at his top level. A fantastic goal but he is not playing at his best. He knows this. I don’t have to tell him. His dynamic is not perfect. I spoke with him. The goal is outstanding and thanks to him we didn’t suffer in the final minutes."

The Belgian has 9 assists this term, the best in the division. He has struck a wonderful partnership with Haaland as the Cityzens aim to defend their Premier League crown as well as win their first Champions League title.
