The 30-year-old put in a clinical performance, but insists his team is just thinking on their next game, which is a trip to West Ham.

De Bruyne told Sky Sports (as reported) after Wolves’ thrashing;

“It’s crazy, the standards we both set you can only respect it. They’ve played everything until the end of the season. We know how hard it is, both teams have ultimate respect, we play hard.

“That’s all we can do, we have to prepare. West Ham won’t be easy, we try to go there and win the game”
