Bernardo Silva caught in comical moment during Arsenal v City clash (Video) | OneFootball

The Arsenal – City match, which took place last Sunday, September 21, ended in a 1-1 draw. In the match, valid for the fifth round of the Premier League, Bernardo Silva, former Benfica player, was involved in a somewhat comical moment with Leandro Trossard that has already gone viral on social media.

During a Manchester City attack, Bernardo Silva crossed into Arsenal’s penalty area, but Leandro Trossard managed to intercept the ball, which struck him near the groin. Shortly after, the winger from Arteta’s team got his revenge and kicked the ball against the same area of the former Benfica player.

As for the match itself, Bernardo Silva’s Manchester City took the lead through Erling Haaland in the ninth minute. In stoppage time of the second half, Gabriel Martinelli, in the 90+3rd minute, equalized and ‘stole’ two points from the team of the former Benfica player.

Recently, Bernardo Silva was a topic of conversation during the elections. João Noronha Lopes presented the Portuguese international as an electoral trump card: “I confirm that there is a contract waiting for Bernardo Silva. And I really want to bring Bernardo already in January. He personifies everything I want for Benfica. Identity, a winning culture, and he is a great Benfiquista. And I can guarantee you that we will not stop here.”

In Benfica’s first team, Bernardo Silva – valued at 38 million euros – played only three matches. His debut with the Sacred Mantle took place on October 19, 2013, when the Eagles, then led by Jorge Jesus, traveled to face Cinfães. The Portuguese international came on in the 80th minute to replace Filip Djuricic, in a match that ended with a 1-0 victory for the Eagles, with a goal from Ola John (52’).
