Defending champions Manchester City claimed the top spot in the Premier League for the first time this season as Bernardo Silva scored twice in a 3-1 win at Watford on Saturday.
Raheem Sterling’s opening header paved the way for a comfortable victory for Pep Guardiola’s side, who made the most of Chelsea’s 3-2 loss to West Ham United.
Silva fired from a tight angle in the 31st minute and put City into cruise control when he made a delightful effort in the top corner.
Truly City’s margin of victory should have been bigger against a struggling Watford side, which had been given some late hope when Cucho Hernández took a goal back.
City’s fifth consecutive league win saw them reach 35 points from 15 games, one point ahead of Liverpool and two points ahead of Chelsea, in what is shaping up to be a three-way title clash.
