Burnley vs Man City LIVE! Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today

Burnley vs Manchester City - LIVE!

Erling Haaland scored twice as Manchester City eased to a 3-0 win over Burnley on the opening night of the new Premier League season.

The Norwegian enjoyed a stunning first year in England, netting 52 goals across all competitions, and he wasted little time in getting his tally for this campaign up and running. A first-time finish from Haaland put City in front at Turf Moor with barely three minutes on the clock and his second was even better, a wonderful strike that flew in off the underside of the bar to double the lead before the break after Julian Alvarez had laid the ball off.

Burnley never looked like mounting a late comeback, but Rodri ensured there was to be no late drama as he blasted home from close range from a set-piece to put the result beyond bout. City’s title defence got off to the perfect start, while Burnley’s return to the top-flight ended on an even more sour note as Anass Zaroury was sent off in stoppage-time for a high challenge on Kyle Walker.
