Bernardo Silva provided the assist for David Silva
Manchester City fans were worried after their best player last season Kevin De Bruyne picked up an injury at the start of the season which ruled him out for several months. However, City might be the only team who doesn't suffer from the absence of their star player.

The luxury of players Pep Guardiola has got up his sleeves would make any other manager jealous. With De Bruyne out, it was time for the two Silva's - David and Bernardo to step up for the side and they didn't disappoint at all. David Silva has now scored in his last three Premier League games and has been the creator for the team as well.
Against Manchester United, David was at the heart of everything that City did, from defence-splitting passes to scoring himself after a beautiful layout by Bernardo Silva from a Raheem Sterling cross.

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.
Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.
Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.
The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.
I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
