Mahrez scores first Premier League goal of the season as Manchester City demolish Watford

Riyad Mahrez scored his first Premier League goal of the season in Manchester City’s 8-0 thumping of Watford on Saturday.

After opening his goal account in their Champions League victory against Shakhtar Donetsk, the winger was handed his fourth start this term and delivered a sterling performance.

The Citizens hit the ground running, with David Silva opening the scoring only a minute into the encounter off Kevin De Bruyne’s assist.

Sergio Aguero doubled the lead six minutes later from the penalty spot before Algeria international Mahrez found the net in the 12th minute, with a deflected free-kick to further compound the woes of their visitors.
