Champions Manchester City continued their domination in the league with a thumping 5-0 win over Burnley at the Etihad Stadium. Goals from Sergio Aguero, Bernardo Silva, Fernandinho, Riyad Mahrez and Leroy Sane won them an easy three points.
The lead was only one at half-time but Pep Guardiola’s men took charge in the second period and scored four goals. They are now on top of the table, with a whopping goal difference of 23 after just nine games in. It will take some effort to stop them from defending the league title.
No saves to make but provided exquisite passes to set City on the attack. He looks capable of playing in the midfield, to be honest.
Floated from right-back, to centre-back and to central midfield. Kept Burnley guessing and the Englishman was untroubled.
Had a few rusty touches at the start, but the captain recovered and steadied himself from there on.
Was physically very good against the opposition strikers and his passing was good as always
Didn’t have to do too much defensive work, hence he was given the license to move forward at will and cause problems to the Burnley defence.
Scored a great goal to sum up his game. Always calm, composed and authoritative in the midfield.
The Portuguese scored a sharply taken goal and was always on the ball in central midfield. He makes those late angled runs which are hard to mark.
Ran the show for the home side with neat touches, sumptuous passes and amazing ability to pick out the right runs at the right time.
Fired in some great crosses to trouble the Burnley defence. Scored an absolute beauty to cap off a great game.
Scored the first goal of the game to start the afternoon. However, the Argentine missed two good chances and was denied once by old pal Joe Hart.
Had the Burnley right-back in trouble throughout the game. Scored a good goal to round off his performance.
Came on with an applause and straightaway, the Belgian was at it. His passing was imperious.
The Brazilian should have scored after coming on from the bench.
