Bernardo Silva scored a hat-trick as rampant Manchester City swept to their biggest ever Premier League win with a sensational 8-0 mauling of Watford on Saturday.
Incredibly, it could have been far worse for hapless Watford as City – and Sergio Aguero in particular – passed up several chances to beat Manchester United’s Premier League record score of 9-0.
After all, they had beaten the Hornets on the last 11 occasions they had met them in all competitions, including last season’s FA Cup final at Wembley when City ran out 6-0 winners.But what was a surprise was the way the Hornets collapsed so quickly and meekly: they were 1-0 down after 53 seconds and five down after 18 minutes – the fastest that any team had gone five up in Premier League history.
Bernardo headed in from close range after Otamendi had headed down a De Bruyne cross in the 15th minute. Watford striker Dimitri Foulquier had a Premier League debut to forget, with only nine touches when he was withdrawn after 32 minutes. City went 6-0 up after 47 minutes with Bernardo adding his second poking a shot past Foster after good work by David Silva.He made a mess of his first attempt to convert from a few yards out but made no mistake with his second.
