Premier League 2018/19: Manchester City v Manchester United - 5 takeaways from the game

#4 The brilliant 'Silva' combination

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.
