Lewis set up Erling Haaland for our first of the night after 17 minutes, taking our striker to 53 goals in 51 games in the competition.
Bernardo doubled the lead before the interval with an accurate header from Savinho’s cross, as we extended our unbeaten run across all competition to nine matches.
It was an all-action display from our skipper, who had 84 touches of the ball and boasted a 91% pass accuracy rate at the Estadio de la Ceramica.
In his interview with City Studios after the game, Lewis reserved plenty of praise for Bernardo.
“Fully deserved. Unbelievable player,” he said.
“I think people forget so quickly how good he is.
“He showed today, he’s ran more than anyone, he scored, he was playing higher up, lower down, you know he can do everything.
“So, he’s an unbelievable player to play with.”
Lewis also spoke about his impressive link up with Savinho during the victory, touched on how the squad are feeling after the success and spoke about the confidence flowing through the team.
