Watford 1-3 Manchester City: Bernardo Silva brace sends Pep Guardiola’s side top of the Premier League

Manchester City went top of the Premier League on gameweek 15 after an eventful day in the title race.

Bernardo Silva added a brace to Raheem Sterling’s early opener as Pep Guardiola’s side leapfrogged Chelsea - who lost at West Ham United earlier on Saturday - and Liverpool, who needed an injury-time winner to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Sterling’s early header paved the way to a comfortable win for Guardiola’s side who made the most of morning leaders Chelsea’s 3-2 defeat.

Silva then fired in from a tight angle in the 31st minute and put City in cruise control just past the hour mark when he curled a delightful effort into the top corner.

In truth City’s winning margin should have been bigger against a struggling Watford side who were given some late hope when Cucho Hernandez pulled a goal back.

City’s fifth successive league win lifted them to 35 points from 15 games, one point ahead of Liverpool and two ahead of Chelsea in what is shaping up to be a three-way title tussle.
