Sergio Aguero offered a reminder of his value to Manchester City by helping Pep Guardiola's side to a 2-0 win at Bournemouth.
The striker, whose future has been the subject of growing speculation since he lost his starting place to Gabriel Jesus, came off the bench to replace the injured Brazilian and play a part in his team's second goal after Raheem Sterling had given them the lead.
In the 29th minute, after Yaya Toure had curled an effort just wide of the left post, Silva played a similar through-ball to Leroy Sane, who again looked for Sterling with a similar cross. This time Steve Cook deflected possession to Sterling, who routinely side-footed in at the far right post.
The points were made safe in the 69th minute. Fernandinho ran down the left before feeding Sterling, who under pressure brilliantly cut into Bournemouth's area before squaring back in front of goal to Aguero.
The Argentine got a toe to the ball but Tyrone Mings got the defining touch which made sure the ball nestled in the back of the net.
The win moved City up to second in the Premier League eight points behind leaders Chelsea.
