Menacing Mahrez dazzles
Riyad Mahrez was a menace on the right flank for Manchester City, causing Lichtsteiner all sorts of problems. He also unleashed a wicked strike from a free-kick, which Cech did well to palm away. It appears that the Algerian will be able to emulate his stunning Leicester performances at Manchester City. However, Mahrez has to stay on his toes, with the likes of Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane, Bernado Silva and Gabriel Jesus all vying for similar roles in the team. He was given a brief reminder of that when he was substituted in the 58th minute for Kevin de Bruyne. He has lesser room for error than he did at Leicester.
