Manchester City midfielder David Silva has revealed how their Premier League title race is helping him cope during a difficult time off the pitch.
Silva, 32, is arguably enjoying his best ever season at the Etihad Stadium and has been an instrumental figure in putting Pep Guardiola's side in touching distance of that highly-coveted Premier League crown.
On Monday night he again pulled the strings from midfield before displaying his new-found penetrative qualities under Guardiola, by scoring twice as City cantered to their 26th league win of the season against Stoke at the Bet365 Stadium.
