Man City's Joao Cancelo played insane pass during masterclass v Southampton

Joao Cancelo was simply too good for Southampton on Saturday afternoon.

Manchester City‘s marauding full-back was at the peak of his powers to help secure a comfortable 4-0 win for Pep Guardiola’s side.

Cancelo opened the scoring at the Etihad Stadium courtesy of a sensational left-footed strike, before teeing up goal machine Erling Haaland for the Citizens’ fourth goal with a typically marvellous low cross.

The City full-back – who actually played more like a left winger against Southampton in truth – is oozing confidence right now and it’s seriously entertaining to watch.

At times, Cancelo could be mistaken for Dani Alves or Marcelo in their primes, he’s that darn good.

There was one moment in particular during City’s resounding victory over Southampton that sums up Cancelo’s current form in sky blue.

In just the 13th minute of play when the scores were level at 0-0, the Portugal international opted to play a ‘trivela volley cross’ to Riyad Mahrez – and he executed it to perfection.

The ball landed right on Mahrez’s deadly left peg, but the Algerian’s shot sadly went flying over the crossbar.

Check out the moment of magic from Cancelo…
