Alvarez, who became a part of City on January 31, 2022, maintained a special connection with the date by scoring two impressive goals in the first half.

The initial goal was a ꜱtгiker’s header, and the second showcased a skillful finish following a well-timed run, set up by a precise pass from Kevin De Bruyne.

Rodrigo secured our third goal shortly after the second half commenced, and despite City’s comfort, they continued to push for more goals.

However, it was Vincent Kompany’s Burnley that added to the scoring, with Ameen Al-Dakhil securing a consolation goal in stoppage time.

Beyond the three-point victory, there were numerous positives, including Kevin De Bruyne starting his first game in five months since the initial away game at Turf Moor on the opening day against the same opponents tonight. Additionally, Erling Haaland made a comeback to the matchday squad after a period on the sidelines.

With this positive momentum, we eagerly anticipate a strong finish to the 2023/24 campaign.
