Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Turf Moor will turn into a battlefield for Burnley FC and Manchester City FC.
- 3' Gabriel Jesus does the damage! The net is bulging and Manchester City FC surge ahead!
- 8' Joel Mumbongo has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 6 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 13' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 18' Burnley FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 23' Ruben Dias needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 28' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester City FC that had 438 games and scored 1027 goals.
- 33' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 38' Goal! Raheem Sterling scores his 113 goal in 438 matches.
- 43' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 48' The home supporters are growing impatient. Burnley FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 53' John Stones has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 58' Manchester City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 58.
- 63' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Nick Pope suffering a number of foals already.
- 64' Another change for Manchester City FC made on 64 minute. Joao Cancelo leaves to be changed by Oleksandr Zinchenko.
- 69' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 71' The supporters are chanting for Dale Stephens. He replaces Jack Cork on 71 minute.
- 76' The referee has no hesitation. Ederson is booked for Manchester City FC — Yellow card on 76.
- 77' Another change for Burnley FC made on 77 minute. Jay Rodriguez leaves to be changed by Joel Mumbongo.
- 81' It is a substitution in Burnley FC team. Ashley Westwood is replaced by Josh Benson on 81 minute.
- 83' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Dale Stephens.
- 87' Burnley FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 87.
- It finishes all square. Burnley FC and Manchester City FC share the spoils 0-2.
