Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola singled out one of his stars, who he claims reminded him of Lionel Messi on Saturday.
The Citizens moved to the top of the Premier League with a 6-1 thrashing of Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium.
Jeremy Doku was the star of the show after registering four assists and one goal, but Guardiola was left mezmorized by Bernardo Silva.

When asked if Silva is one of the best in the world, Guardiola told BBC Sport, "In the world. I said that many times.
"He made a good shot from a short corner and then after the first goal, the action for the second, with the chipping, looks like Messi. I remembered, in that moment, Messi did that many times.
"Maybe that's too much of a compliment to him! But he deserves it."
Guardiola also praised Doku for his superb display on the day, with the Spaniard surprised by the Belgian's decision-making.
"We knew the one-v-one, the fact that surprised me the most is how clever he is to dribble," Guardiola told Sky Sports.
"His decision for the extra pass, I had the feeling he understood everything. He understands the game really well."
