‘He’s Simply Top-Notch’ –Owen Hails Mahrez

‘He’s Simply Top-Notch’ –Owen Hails Mahrez

Michael Owen has heaped praises on Man City star, Riyad Mahrez for coming off from the bench to score the team’s winning goal against Chelsea.

Recall that the Citizen defeated the Blues 1-0 at Stamford Bridge to keep chasing Arsenal, who are currently at the top of the Premier League table.

Owen said it was embarrassing to see a player like the Algerian sit on the bench but added that it shows the depth in Pep Guardiola’s team.

Mahrez, who has complained about how tough it is starting on the bench for City, made the difference again, cutting Arsenal’s lead in the Premier League to five points.

Since joining Manchester City in 2018, Mahrez has scored more Premier League goals as a substitute than any other player.

“Any team would do anything to have Mahrez in their starting eleven every single week.

“You can bring in £100m off the bench in Jack Grealish but Mahrez off the bench with the goalscoring record in Man City, [it gives you the confidence] as a manager when you have that type of fire power,” Owen said on Premier League Productions.
