Bernardo Silva literally owned the game in every sense. From passing to dribbling to movement off the ball, everything was just perfect about this Portuguese man.

Silva started on the right wing alongside Aguero and Sterling in the attack. His movement with and off the ball created a lot of problem for the United defence from the start. He managed to come close several times in the first half and was often driving the ball into the 6-yard area.

But he earned his goal in the second half. Silva dribbled around Luke Shaw on the right flank, opened his body to take a shot which seemed to go towards the far post but drove it onto the near post catching almost everyone by surprise. De Gea couldn't anticipate the shot while Luke Shaw tried to block the shot but failed in doing so. The shot found the corner of the net and Silva opened the deadlock with it.

Bernardo Silva had a fantastic game throughout and displayed a towering performance. No wonder he was named as the Man of the Match. A feat truly deserved by the Portuguese superstar.
