Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez has been one of the Premier League ’s most unsung heroes this season in their race to defend their top-flight crown.
Pep Guardiola’s side are currently a point ahead of Liverpool with both sides having six games remaining of the 2021/22 season. Five-time title winners City moved back to the top of the Premier League table on Wednesday night, beating Brighton and Hove Albion 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium following a flurry of second half goals.
While City were held at half-time by a Brighton side who have recently won away at Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, Mahrez got the opening goal in the 3-0 victory, with Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva completing the scoring later in the second half.
