Keown compares Kolarov to Bobby Moore

The 30-year-old defender was used at center back in Manchester City's 4-0 trouncing of Bournemouth and the former Arsenal man feels he resembled the West Ham and England icon.

Martin Keown says Aleksandar Kolarov played like England's World Cup winning former captain Bobby Moore in Manchester City's 4-0 win over Bournemouth.

The Serbian, usually played as a left back, partnered Nicolas Otamendi in the center of defense on Saturday as Pep Guardiola's men maintained their perfect start to the season.

Keown believes the 30-year-old looks comfortable in the heart of the back line, stating that his tendency to move forward with the ball reminds him of the West Ham and England legend.
