Bernardo Silva Caught Eavesdropping on Mikel Arteta’s Tactics During Man City vs Arsenal

• Bernardo Silva hilariously tried to listen to Mikel Arteta's tactics
• Silva was part of the Manchester City squad held to a 0-0 draw
• Arsenal's low block and resolute defences paid off in the end

Manchester City received a subtle dent to their Premier League title hopes after they were frustrated by Arsenal to a goalless draw on March 31.

Mikel Arteta's side came away with a priceless point, banishing the demons of the past at Etihad Stadium. They lost 4-1 in this fixture last season before dramatically collapsing in their title pursuit.

Arsenal uncharacteristically sat back and took in pressure from the defending champions. This was a complete contrast to the forward-thinking play that Arteta has developed as a manager. The Gunners had to rely on counter-attacks to carve out chances of the game as they happily allowed the hosts to boss possession.

At one point in the game, Bernardo Silva was spotted eavesdropping on Arteta's team tactics in his dug-out area.

The game had been stopped momentarily to allow Manchester City to substitute Nathan Ake, who had seemingly picked up a hamstring injury. Rico Lewis took his place.

What Bernardo Silva did vs Arsenal

As Ake trudged off the pitch, Arteta called his players to the pitchside to offer some in-game tactics. Silva hilariously joined the Arsenal players as if he was one of their own.

One of the Gunners' assistant coaches spotted him and asked him to leave, but the Portuguese international was in no hurry.

The draw leaves Manchester City three points off the top of the table with nine games left, as Sports Brief has outlined.

Both players were second-half substitutes as both managers attempted to turn the course of the game. Doku was sent out to the right wing, with Jack Grealish occupying the left-hand side.

Trossard's first touch was to leave his fellow Belgian on the floor. The two were together just a few days ago in the Red Devils camp for international friendly games.
