Why Bernardo Silva stayed on for Man City after booking vs Arsenal FC

In Manchester City's win over Aston Villa on Sunday, Pep Guardiola took defender Ruben Dias off at half-time as he was on a yellow card.

Three days later, and makeshift defender Bernardo Silva was in the same situation, yet lasted the full 90 minutes in a crucial win at Arsenal.

Bernardo was effectively playing as a left-back at the Emirates, tasked with stopping Bukayo Saka. While he was effective in that duty in the first half, he had to accept a booking after one too many fouls on Arsenal's number seven.

However, Guardiola persisted with Bernardo at left-back until the hour mark, when Nathan Ake moved over and City went on to secure three massive points.
