Bernardo Silva urges Manchester City to continue their rich vein of form amid thrilling Premier League title race after sealing sixth straight win over Aston Villa, insisting 'we have to keep it up at this level'

Bernardo Silva feels confidence is now flowing through Manchester City as their momentum continues to gather.

City underlined their growing title credentials as they claimed a sixth successive Premier League win with a hard-fought - and controversial - 2-0 success over Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.

The result briefly took them to the top of the table - before Manchester United returned to the summit with victory later in the evening at Fulham - and Silva is hungry for the run to carry on.
