Manchester City's two goal David Silva says his son is "getting better" after victory at Stoke City.

Pep Guardiola's side are now two wins away from clinching the Premier League title thanks to Silva's brace at the bet365 to easily sweep Stoke aside.

Silva claimed the Man of the Match award and insists his football allows him to "forget" tough times at home following the premature birth of his son, who is now "getting better."

"I don't know! When I play football I forget about everything else, it is good for me to play," Silva told Sky Sports.

"My private life is very hard for me but my son is fighting and getting better."
