'Normal players don't do this': Michael Owen hails stunning strike from Riyad Mahrez in Manchester City's victory at Everton and claims 'not many teams can score that goal' as Ally McCoist praises 'perfect' link-up with Bernardo Silva

Michael Owen heaped praise on Riyad Mahrez after the forward scored a stunning goal in Manchester City's 3-1 victory over Everton with the pundit claiming 'normal players don't do this'.

With the score at 1-1 in the 63rd minute, Bernardo Silva produced a fine piece of skill on the edge of the box before flicking the ball to Mahrez, who then hit a sensational first-time strike into the top corner.

The goal restored City's lead after Richarlison had cancelled out Phil Foden's opener just before half-time. Silva then added a third as Pep Guardiola's side went ten points clear at the top of the Premier League.
