Bernardo
But special mention for Stones who excelled playing RB which is not his ideal position

1) Bernardo
2) Mahrez
3) Stones/KDB
Two worldie goals. Wow!
Sterling’s was exquisitely taken, as he has shown he can do when cutting in on his right, but Bernardo’s half volley is from the absolute top drawer of snapshots I have seen in a very long time…made all the more dramatic, as always, by the involvement of the crossbar!
It happened so quickly, and was so unexpected, that it took me a beat to realize what I had seen!
Was sad to see Bernardo didn’t get his match ball from the header, esp considering it looked like it was his arm(pit) that made him offside.
Further cements my feeling that offside should be measured by the most advanced FOOT of the attacker and back foot of the last defender, because a player LEANING into an “offside position” is ridiculous.

I've gone for Mahrez. He was a constant threat and involved in plenty of goals. Bernardo was unplayable too.
It was a brilliant TEAM performance. Definitely our best away performance in Europe IMO.

Wasn’t our best “performance” as much as it was our most clinical finishing in a long time.I've gone for Mahrez. He was a constant threat and involved in plenty of goals. Bernardo was unplayable too.

Gave the ball away too much and were a little frenetic at times, playing at their pace not ours. However, the statistics do bear out that it was a very well put together total performance.
