BERNARDO SILVA has demanded improvement as Manchester City seek to avoid a fourth successive loss this weekend.

City’s poor run continued as they surrendered a lead to suffer a shock 4-1 defeat away to Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League on Tuesday.

It was the first time City had lost three in a row in the same season since 2018 and, although injury issues have been a contributing factor, midfielder Silva offered no excuses.
