Phoden,Mahrez star as Manchester city thrash Burnley

Phil Phoden and Riyadh Mahrez's double sees Man city whistle past Burnley

David Silva completes 5-0 trouncing of the visitors


Pep Guardiola made eight changes from the 3-0 win against Arsenal on Wednesday with Foden handed a rare Premier League start. It took only 22 minutes for him to justify his selection with a thunderous finish from the edge of the area.

Mahrez scored a quick double before the break to put City in control, lashing home the first (43) before dispatching from the penalty spot (45+3) after Ben Mee was penalised for catching Sergio Aguero on the foot following a VAR review.

David Silva (51) added another shortly after the restart before Foden (63) rounded things off with a close range finish to make it a third successive 5-0 win against Burnley at the Etihad in all competitions.

The victory means Liverpool cannot win the Premier League title against Crystal Palace this week with City trailing them by 20 points. Should Guardiola's side also win against Chelsea on Thursday, it could all come down to Liverpool's visit to the Etihad on Thursday July 2.

For Burnley, they remain in 11th on 39 points.

Manchester City and Burnley are back in action on Thursday. City travel to Chelsea at 8.15pm, while Burnley host Watford at 6pm.
