MATCH REPORT: Is Bernardo Silva the best player in the Premier League at the moment?
It's a bold claim, but he's certainly flying right now and was key to firing City to the top of the league in this one.
End of 2nd Half
90+4'
FULL TIME - WATFORD 1-3 MAN CITY
Sterling and Bernardo Silva (2) lead City to the PL summit. Cucho pulled one back late on for the hosts but in truth the scoreline flattered them as the visitors missed several chances throughout a one-sided contest.

CUCHO GOES CLOSE!
The Watford forward jinks in from he right and sees a heavily deflected cross-shot loop uncomfortably close from Ederson's perspective, but it drops just over the bar.
