Man City player ratings as Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland ruin Burnley FA Cup dream

Ortega: Short passing nearly got City into trouble but his long kicking paid off for the opening goal. 7

Walker: Solid on his return to the team, pushing up well and linking with Mahrez. 7

Dias: An outstanding tackle in the first half when it was 0-0 and Burnley were threatening. 8

Laporte: Cool with anything that came his way, alert to the end to ensure a clean sheet. 7

Lewis: Got stuck in and tidied up well from an Ortega error. 7

Rodri: This is some form he is in. Burnley tried to limit his influence, but he found a way. 8

De Bruyne: Some ropey decisions early on but grew into the game and bossed the second half. 8

Alvarez: A beautiful assist to get the ball rolling and two well-taken goals. 9

Mahrez: One of the quieter players on the night but still worked well in some lovely team goals. 7

Foden: Was kicked through the game but still found a way to hurt Burnley regularly. Unlucky not to score 8

Haaland: What else can you say? World-class and unstoppable. 9
