Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown has likened the 'intelligent' Julian Alvarez to Dennis Bergkamp after another brilliant performance during Saturday's 2-0 win at home to Nottingham Forest.
Alvarez failed to register a goal or assist for the first time since the 2-1 win at Sheffield United in August but continued to impress in behind Erling Haaland.
The 23-year-old was a constant threat in pockets of space, pulling a defensive Forest side apart and opening up the gaps for his teammates.
It was his sharp pass into Phil Foden that set the wheels in motion for City's second, with the latter bouncing the ball into Matheus Nunes whose cross found a free and clinical Haaland.
