The hope is that Savinho can kick on after his goal against Leicester City | OneFootball

Savinho finally scored his first goal for Manchester City during their 2-nil win over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium yesterday. His goal capped off a good week for the Brazilian. He played well against Everton and was once again one of City’s best players yesterday. The Brazilian international also picked up an assist for City’s second goal yesterday, which capped off a fine display. The hope is now that his goal can kick on after finally breaking his duck yesterday.

Since he arrived at Manchester City Savinho has shown flashes of his prodigious talent. The young winger has the talent to be a dynamic player for Pep Guardiola’s side for years to come. His dribbling ability and eye for a pass is elite. He just needs to add more decisiveness to his game in front of goal. But scoring his first goal yesterday may release the shackles from the Brazilian international. A weight off his shoulders has been lifted and the hope is now he can kick on as a player.

Pep Guardiola was full of praise for Savinho’s performance after his team’s much-needed win yesterday. Speaking on Savinho’s display he said: “We’re a way from what we have to be as a team, but Savinho made an incredible performance again like he did against Everton. He’s a guy who can play on both sides, today he finally scored a goal. He has an incredible ability and quality he’s proven in that period.”

It has been a good week for Savinho. His past two performances have been two of his best since he arrived at Manchester City. Now the hope is that his goal yesterday will see him kick on as a player. If he does Manchester City will have a star on their hands.
