Just short of an hour in and Bernardo Silva has the ball. Jakub Moder and Adam Lallana are chasing. He dashes between the duo, they crash into one another and are floored.
While they’re picking themselves up, Silva is away. See you later. There’s a reason he became known as ‘bubble gum’ at Monaco. The ball sticks to that left foot of his.
Phil Foden scored twice against Brighton but he wasn’t the best player at the Amex Stadium. That was Silva, the 27-year-old who has wanted to leave Manchester City in the last few transfer windows for personal reasons.
