David Silva, Sergio Aguero take centre stage as Man City run riot vs. Burnley

Manchester City continued their impressive start to the season with an emphatic 5-0 victory over Burnley to maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League. Sergio Aguero settled the nerves with a first-half strike before goals from Bernardo Silva, Fernandinho, Riyad Mahrez and Leroy Sane as City cut loose in the second-half performance.

Positives

City were again completely dominant, controlling the possession as they wanted and creating chances with ease. But it may be more pleasing that a physically dominant side failed to have a single attempt on target as City's mean defence continues to grow in confidence.
