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 a goal that
hit the post and went behind.
