Gaël Clichy

Throughout the match he wasn’t making a massive impression either up the flanks or shutting down Burnley attacks. But his second half goal was what spurred City on to victory. Collected the ball on the far side, created space against the defenders and slotted it home in the far corner. Great to see a new face step up when the side were struggling to break down Burnley, and a man down.
