'They’ve got a special one there': Owen Hargreaves heaps praise on Julian Alvarez after his strike against Sevilla and reckons he'd be starting more for Man City 'if it wasn’t for Erling Haaland'

Owen Hargreaves has praised Manchester City striker Julian Alvares as 'special' following his MOTM performance during their 3-1 Champions League win on Wednesday night.

The 22-year-old, who has scored five times in 17 matches for City this season, was the orchestrator of his side's comeback, teeing up 17-year-old Rico Lewis with an inch-perfect pass to draw City back into the game at 1-1.

The Argentinian then found the back of the net himself, rounding the Sevilla goalkeeper to give Pep Guardiola's side the lead, before linking up with Riyad Mahrez, who sealed the win for the Citizens.
