‘Incredible’ Mahrez lauded as the best Premier League player after Manchester City heroics

Former Manchester City defender Andy Morrison has described Riyad Mahrez as the best player in the Premier League presently after he scored two goals in City's 5-2 victory over Southampton.

Mahrez restored the Citizens' lead in the 40th minute after James Ward-Prowse cancelled out Kevin De Bruyne's opener at the Etihad Stadium.

Shortly after the restart, the Algeria captain gave the hosts a 4-1 lead with his ninth Premier League goal of the season as Pep Guardiola’s men bounced back from Sunday’s derby loss against Manchester United.
