Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne enjoyed Sunday's victory over Manchester United.
He scored twice as the Premier League leaders thrashed their neighbours 4-1 at the Etihad Stadium.
The victory restored the champions' six-point lead at the top and gave Belgium star De Bruyne extra reason to look forward to returning home, where he had been hosting visitors over the weekend.
De Bruyne said: “I had a load of friends come over from Belgium and three were United fans, so they were trying to keep me awake all night, so I wouldn't sleep the night before!
“Now I can go home and have a good laugh with them. It's banter – but I'm obviously very happy."
