Pep Guardiola says Manchester City are up for the title challenge after Bernardo Silva's stunning goal helped them beat Aston Villa and inflict Steven Gerrard's first Premier League defeat as a manager.
It was a fourth league win in a row for Guardiola's side, one that keeps them second in the table and one point behind leaders Chelsea in what is shaping up to be a three-way title race that includes Liverpool.
Silva showed world-class technique to side-foot volley Gabriel Jesus' dropping cross into the roof of the net from just inside the area, after City ripped their hosts open with a rapid break.
