Bernardo Silva Admits Man City Will Need to Be 'Almost Perfect' to Overcome Liverpool in Title Race

Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva has admitted that his side's title destiny may not be in their own hands now after the defeat to Leicester left his side seven points off Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table.

The Portuguese playmaker opened the scoring for Pep Guardiola's side at the King Power Stadium, but his side were unable to build on the early goal, slipping to a shock late defeat after goals from Leicester duo Marc Albrighton and Ricardo Pereira.

After the game, Silva admitted his side are unhappy with the recent results and claimed that City will now have to rely on results elsewhere going their way if they are to stand any chance of retaining their Premier League crown.
