Man City youngster Lewis: De Bruyne steps up at this time of season

Manchester City youngster Rico Lewis hailed teammate Kevin De Bruyne on Saturday.

The Citizens had to work hard to defeat Crystal Palace 4-2 in the Premier League.

City are now third in the league, but only a single point off leaders Arsenal and second placed Liverpool.

Post-game, Lewis said: "At this part of the season when it's coming to the crunch time he shows up.

"When he's in form there's not much he can do wrong. For the team he does so much, for himself he scores so many goals in these kind of games.

That's why we've won so many titles in the last five, six years. It's the quality in not just the team but in individuals that have moments like that.

"You can't really put into words how important he is and people like that are to the team"
