Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Manchester City - Football Match Report - February 24, 2021 - ESPN

Manchester City extended their winning run in all competitions to 19 games as they comfortably beat Borussia Monchengladbach 2-0 in the Champions League round of 16 first leg.

Two near-identical goals, one scored by Bernardo Silva and the other assisted by him, put Pep Guardiola's side within touching distance of the quarterfinals.

Bernardo put City in front on 29 minutes, losing his marker at the back post to head home a pinpoint Joao Cancelo cross.

The same move resulted in Bernardo heading back across goal for Gabriel Jesus to tap in on 65 minutes and put City in a commanding position with two away goals.
