Manchester Evening News - City get Bernardo Silva international bonus
Simon Bajkowski: "City forward Bernardo Silva scored and assisted in Portugal's fine 4-2 win in Serbia at the weekend as his season stepped up a gear.
"There was further encouragement on international duty as Portugal played their first game since triumphing in the UEFA Nations League back in June.
"Receiving the ball next to the centre circle, he turned and drove forward with the ball before finding the perfect through ball for Cristiano Ronaldo to run onto and poke home for the third goal in a 4-2 win. The 26-year-old then got on the scoresheet himself, calmly sidefooting home in the box to make the game safe.
"If many of his teammates at the Etihad have set a blistering early pace with their attacking contributions, Bernardo's goal against Brighton at least got him into the race and he looks to be more up to speed after some minutes with Portugal, who take on Lithuania on Tuesday."
