In the 19th round of the Premier League, Manchester City faced Leicester City away from home. In this match, Manchester City's 20-year-old new signing Savigno became the focus of the game. The young Brazilian winger finally scored his first goal for Manchester City after playing 24 games, and also assisted Haaland in scoring a header, helping Manchester City win 2-0 against Leicester City. After the game, Savigno was named the best player on the field.
In this game, Savigno was arranged by Guardiola to play as a left winger instead of his familiar right winger position. In the 21st minute of the game, Savigno seized the opportunity. After Foden's long-range shot was saved, he quickly rushed in to complete the rebound, breaking the deadlock on the field and giving Manchester City a 1-0 lead.
It is worth noting that this goal was not only his first goal for Manchester City but also his debut goal in the Premier League. Savigno's goal ended his embarrassing record of failing to score in 15 Premier League appearances with 27 shots. After playing 24 official matches for Manchester City, Savigno finally ended his goalless streak.
Savigno's performance did not end there. In the second half, he once again became a key figure in the game. In the 74th minute, Savigno's precise cross found Haaland, who easily headed the ball into the net, securing a 2-0 victory for Manchester City. In this game, Savigno not only broke his own goal drought but also assisted his teammate Haaland in breaking his four-game goal drought, becoming the biggest contributor to Manchester City's 2-0 away win.
Savigno's outstanding performance has been recognized by the fans. In the selection on the official website of the Premier League, Savigno, who contributed 1 pass and 1 shot in this game, was successfully selected as the best player of the game. For a 20-year-old young player, this is undoubtedly a huge encouragement.
Before this, Savigno's performance at Manchester City was not satisfactory. He experienced a long goal drought, which made some fans question his abilities. However, the young Brazilian player proved his worth with his actions. His explosion not only brought valuable three points to Manchester City but also proved that his title as the "La Liga Dribbling King" was well-deserved.
In summary, Savigno's belated explosion is a positive signal for both Manchester City and himself. He not only broke his personal goal drought but also helped the team end their embarrassing streak of consecutive winless matches. In the past 13 games, Manchester City only won one game. This 20-year-old newcomer is gradually adapting to the rhythm of the Premier League, and his future is undoubtedly promising. Manchester City's investment is beginning to show its value.
