Man City 5-1 Burnley LIVE – reaction after City secure big win

Despite Haaland’s superb start to the season, Guardiola believes his side still need to do a better job of finding him in games.

Pep Guardiola also praised Jeremy Doku, saying he is “unstoppable” one v one and says his decision making has improved too.

“We are creating a good team spirit.

“Really pleased for the performance of the team.

On Haaland: “It’s his job to score goals for us. He always has the feeling he can score.”

The scoreline is ultimately a harsh reflection on Burnley who stayed in the game for so long this afternoon.

It turned out to be a comfortable victory for City in the second half but it did not always look like that would be the case.

It is Haaland again, of course.

Burnley defended so well for so long but they have had an absolute nightmare with this one. Miscommunication leads to the ball being put on an absolute plate for Haaland who finishes with the last kick of the game.

Haaland finally gets his goal.

Doku has had the beating of Walker all day long and he once again plays a dangerous cross into the middle. It finally finds Haaland who converts the chance and continues his scoring streak.

The final Burnley substitutions see Hartman and Anthony make way.

Humphreys and Hannibal are on for the visitors.

A misplaced pass rolls into Haaland’s path.

The Norwegian striker fires a powerful effort at goal but Dubravka makes a great save to keep him out.

City make a double change with Reijnders and O’Reilly withdrawn.

Silva and Lewis are sent on for the final minutes.

Foden slides in to recover the ball after almost losing possession.

He quite clearly wins the ball but the referee awards a free-kick. The Englishman is booked for his reaction.

Burnley make a double change – Cullen and Foster are the pair taken off.

Ugochukwu and Broja are on for the final ten minutes.

Doku dribbles through the Burnley defence once again.

As he goes to shoot he is tripped by Walker. The Belgian still releases his shot but would surely have won a penalty if he did not.

Reijnders has an effort from range but it is a comfortable stop for Dubravka.

The hosts are continuing to get forward as they look to put more distance between themselves and the visitors.

Ake comes on to replace Gvardiol at the back.

Guardiola has a long conversation with the Croatian before allowing him to sit down on the bench.

O’Reilly’s cross finds Haaland but he cannot direct his header on target.

It is probably the Norwegian’s best chance so far this afternoon.

What an impact from Bobb, who scores just minutes after entering the pitch.

It comes through Foden again who plays it wide to Nunes. The Portuguese international squares it for Bobb who has a simple finish.

Burnley’s goalscorer is shown a yellow card.

After Doku beats him not once but twice, Anthony chops his legs down and  is booked by the referee.

The first change of the game is made, with Bobb replacing Savinho.

City will look to add to their lead and not repeat their mistakes from the first half.

City retake the lead and Nunes scores the goal.

Foden’s cross finds Haaland who headset back in for Nunes to volley home from close range.

City work a move well with Doku squaring it to Gonzalez who in turn lays it back for Reijnders.

On the edge of the box with a good line at goal, the Dutchman squanders the chance.

The hosts are struggling to create ay real chances against a resolute Burnley defence.

It looks as if a moment of inspiration will be needed to find a way through.

The first chance of the second half comes for the visitors.

Foster’s effort is deflected just wide and out for a corner.

Haaland takes the kick off for the hosts.

We are underway in the second half.

City started brightly and got the early goal but then fell into the trap of relaxing. Guardiola’s side have not created enough and lacked an intensity to their play.

Burnley have not got forward much, but they look menacing when they do. Their goal came from a well-worked move and they have been defensively solid so far.
