Cristiano Ronaldo's heir? Real Madrid destroyer Andre Silva in sensational form

Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal heir, Andre Silva, downed Real Madrid on Wednesday to continue his inspired form.

The striker, who joined Sevilla on loan from Milan in the summer, has been prolific since his arrival in La Liga, netting seven goals in just six appearances.

Indeed, the 22-year-old hit a brace as Sevilla thumped Real 3-0 on Thursday, in a result which denied Julen Lopetegui's charges the chance to take top spot in Spain.

Lopetegui may not have been surprised, however, having managed Silva at Porto between 2014 and 2016, though he did not see Silva score a league goal under his management.
