Man City boss Guardiola: Bernardo scored like Messi

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola hailed two-goal Bernardo Silva after victory over Bournemouth.

Guardiola likened Bernardo's second goal to Lionel Messi.

"What can I say about him? He is playing holding, on the right, on the left," he said in his post-match press conference on Saturday.

"I push him to score goals, it's the next step in his career. You are an incredibly good player.

"The last goal reminded me of Messi, the way he did it. He's an extraordinary player."
