As it was Manchester City did not need him against opposition as limited as Burnley.  With Pep Guardiola sending Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden on for cameo appearances in the second half, everyone in blue was happy in the end. The only possible complaint was that City might have won by an even greater margin, such was their total control, though when Riyad Mahrez and Leroy Sané added stylish goals in the closing minutes it hardly seemed to matter.

Sergio Agüero went into this game with six goals from six games against Burnley, and it took him only 17 minutes to make it seven in seven. He could have scored much earlier than that but the first time Mahrez arrowed in a diagonal cross from the right after four minutes the striker seemed to lose his bearings and put a free header miles wide.

Yet with the visitors rarely crossing the halfway line there was little urgency to the home side’s attacks. Guardiola has often complained his side are not clinical enough when on top, and the City manager was visibly aghast at the end of the first half when Hart kept out Silva’s header and Agüero missed an open goal from the rebound.  All Burnley had to offer before the interval was a Jeff Hendrick shot blocked by John Stones, though their most promising opening came in the first minute following a mistake by Aymeric Laporte. Vincent Kompany managed to snuff out the danger with a dangerously high tackle on Aaron Lennon.
