10 Things You Didn't Know About Bernardo Silva

Manchester City's season may have looked a whole lot different had things played out differently in the summer. Bernardo Silva was strongly linked with a move away from the club, as City successfully pursued Jack Grealish and unsuccessfully chased Harry Kane.

In the end, Silva stayed where he was and the Portugal international has arguably been the team's standout player this season. His brace against Watford put City back on top of the Premier League on Saturday night.

Bernardo Silva stood out once again, grabbing two goals after Raheem Sterling opened the scoring for Pep Guardiola's side. Cucho Hernandez pulled one back for Watford late on, but it was too little too late. Sterling's goal came just four minutes in. Bernardo Silva played a pass out to Phil Foden on the left wing, which the Englishman then controlled before sending in a cross for Sterling to head home from close range.

City doubled their lead in the 31st minute, as Ilkay Gundogan's shot was saved by Daniel Bachmann but fell at the feet of Bernardo Silva, who got away from William Troost-Ekong before managing to score from an acute angle. Just shy of the hour mark, Foden ran at Kiko Femenia and drilled a shot towards goal that hit the post and went behind.
