Watch: Silva scores stunner as City run wild in 1st half against Sporting

Manchester City came out of the gates flying to take an early 4-0 lead in the first leg of their round of 16 meeting with Sporting CP.

Of the four goals that City scored in the first half, Bernardo Silva’s strike was unmatched in terms of world-class quality and technique. After a failed clearance attempt went high into the air, the Portuguese star lined himself up perfectly inside the box and drove an unstoppable half-volley onto the underside of the crossbar to double City’s lead at the time.
