In the initial time, City made their intentions clear on the field as players like Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne, Rodri, and Julian Alvarez didn’t allow Burnley players to enjoy time on the ball. They attacked in pairs to win possession as quickly as possible and launch a counterattack. While Burnley struggled to make clear-cut chances in the first 30 minutes of the game, Manchester City got the reward for their continuous efforts in the 32nd minute of the game. Julian Alvarez beautifully slipped the ball right through the Burnley players to find Haaland. The 22-year-old striker managed to change the course of the ball with the barest of touches, to beat Burnley’s goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell who came sprinting from his box to clear the ball.
