In the 53rd minute of the match, the Portuguese player provided an outside-the-box pass to Phil Foden, who then struck an incredible long-range goal, equalizing the score for Manchester City. This marked Silva’s 37th assist for the team in the Premier League, putting him on par with Portugal’s captain, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ten minutes following Foden’s equalizer, Julian Alvarez secured the lead for the reigning champions with a penalty. Silva, not content with just assisting, displayed his skill by scoring a remarkable goal in the 86th minute, ensuring their victory. This season, the former AS Monaco player has contributed five goals and four assists in 16 league appearances for the Sky Blues.
During the summer, there were strong rumours linking the attacking midfielder to moves abroad, specifically to Saudi Arabia, Paris Saint-Germain, and Barcelona. However, he opted to remain in the Premier League, eventually signing a contract extension with the European champions, tying him to the club until 2026.
The impressive comeback win at Goodison Park serves as a significant morale boost for Pep Guardiola’s squad. It narrows the gap between them and league leaders Liverpool to five points, propelling them back to the fourth position in the standings. Their last match of the year will see the English champions take on Sheffield United this Saturday.
