Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola picks out David Silva for special praise following the Spanish midfielder's latest "incredible" display.

Pep Guardiola has hailed David Silva for producing "another incredible performance" in Manchester City's 3-0 win at Shakhtar Donetsk.

The Spanish midfielder opened the scoring for the Citizens in their straightforward victory on Ukrainian soil on Tuesday evening with a sweetly-struck volley.

Silva also netted a vital goal for City in the late 2-1 win against Hoffenheim earlier this month, keeping them firmly on course for a place in the last 16 of the Champions League, and Guardiola was keen to praise the 32-year-old for his latest standout display.

"At Hoffenheim he was the best player on the pitch, and his performances in the last month have been incredible," the Catalan coach told reporters.

"He scored the last goal then, and the first one now. He does everything perfect. Another incredible performance from David."

Silva now has four goals and two assists from 11 league and cup outings in 2018-19.
