The 2023/2024 Premier League season got underway on Friday night with newly-promoted Burnley losing heavily to last season champions, Manchester City, at Turf Moor.
Pep Guardiola’s team overcame the league new comers by three goals to nil.

The champions showed that they haven’t missed a step as Kevin De Bruyne broke into space on the right wing, whipped in a cross and found Rodri in the box.
He nodded the ball down to Erling Haaland who tapped it home for the opening goal in only the 4th minute.
Despite a spirited response from Burnley, Haaland outdid himself later in the first half after receiving the ball from Julian Alvarez. He took a blind shot at goal and sent home a beautiful finish scoring yet another goal in 36th minute.
Rodri then added to Burnley’s woes by scoring a third goal in the second half before a bad night for Vincent Kompany’s men was capped off with a late red card to Anass Zaroury.
