Man City 2-0 Burnley: Player ratings as champions continue fine league form

Man City continued their impressive start to the Premier League season with a 2-0 victory over Burnley at the Etihad Stadium.

Bernardo Silva opened the scoring on the afternoon when he turned home the rebound from Phil Foden's effort on 12 minutes.

City quickly went in search of a second, but they lacked their usual conviction when moving the ball, with Raheem Sterling drawing a fine stop from Nick Pope after a Riyad Mahrez cross.

Pep Guardiola will have no doubt have asked his players to up the intensity in the second half, as he moved Foden infield to play as a centre forward while Sterling pulled out to the flanks.

The hosts responded to their manager's call as Mahrez grazed the crossbar with an effort before Aymeric Laporte lashed over shortly after.
