    Bernardo Silva equaled Cristiano Ronaldo’s Premier League assist record with one assist against Everton.
    In the 53rd minute, the Portugal international set up Phil Foden with a ball outside the box, and the England international produced an incredible long-range goal to give Manchester City the equalizer. Silva tied Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo’s record with his 37th assist for the Cityzens in the Premier League.

    Julian Alvarez gave the reigning champs the lead ten minutes after Foden tied the score with a penalty kick. Then, in the 86th minute, Silva himself scored a spectacular goal to put the game away.

    In 16 league games this season, the former AS Monaco player has five goals and four assists for the Sky Blues.

    Along with Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona, the offensive midfielder was heavily linked to a summer transfer to Saudi Arabia; nevertheless, he ultimately chose to remain in the Premier League. Afterwards, he agreed to a new deal with the European champions that will keep him with the team through 2026.

    Pep Guardiola’s team will greatly benefit from the comeback victory at Goodison Park, as they have reclaimed fourth place and cut the deficit to league leaders Liverpool to five points. The English champions take on Sheffield United on Saturday in their last-year match.
