Bernardo Silva felt Manchester City had fallen into a “dark place” after being thrashed 4-1 by Sporting Lisbon.

City were stunned by incoming Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim’s side at the Jose Alvalade Stadium on Tuesday, slumping to a third successive defeat after a hat-trick by former Coventry striker Viktor Gyokeres.
