KDB has certainly had more ‘easy on the eye’ games than against Burnley. That said, the ball through to Sane for the third City goal was sublime.

That’s not to say he did nothing, because he did. In fact the defensive shift he put in, was just as vital. Coming off with ten minutes left you would hope Guardiola will let him sit out the Carabao Cup.
