Follow all the action from Etihad Stadium

Follow live coverage as Manchester City face Burnley today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Liverpool look to fend off competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and more.
The race for the Champions League places should also be a compelling battle, with a fifth place possible for English teams. Manchester United’s latest rebuild under Ruben Amorim sets expectations high once more after a dismal season last time out.
Meanwhile, it’s Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Manchester City vs Burnley
A goal filled end which is harsh on Burnley but offers a reminder to the Premier League of just how deadly Erling Haaland is in front of goal, as he put the sheen on a 5-1 win for Pep Guardiola. Maxime Esteve's unlucky own goal put a dominant City 1-0 ahead early on before Jaidon Anthony's equaliser silenced the Etihad Stadium just before the break. However, the tie turned just after the hour mark, as Matheus Nunes slammed home Haaland's knockdown and Esteve managed to divert home another own goal. At 3-1 the contest was over, but no one told Haaland, as he chased and harried himself into the ground and got the reward with two brilliantly taken goals in the dying minutes. Five goals scored from an xG of 2.09 is kind to City, with Burnley only managing 0.40, ahead of one more league game each before the international break. Next up for City is a trip to Brentford on October 5 - after a Champions League clash in Monaco - with Burnley heading to Aston Villa.

That was Haaland's chance! Burnley needlessly give the ball away trying to play out from defence as City's number nine swivels and strikes from 15 yards but Dubravka's reactions are razor sharp to palm his strike past the post.

GOAL! Haaland again...it's 5-1 City! A meltdown at the back for Burnley as Esteve and Ekdal go for the same ball and Haaland charges in behind to ruthlessly fire past Dubravka.

Doku has been at the heart of everything good for City today and he just rolled that across for Haaland to score.

GOAL! HAALAND GETS HIS GOAL and City will wrap this up as 4-1 winners! The main man in City's attack has been relentless in his attempts to bury a seventh Premier League goal of the season, and just as his chance looked to have come and gone, he holds off Humphreys at the back post and steers home Doku's pass.

City have dropped down a gear or two now as the points are in the bag for Pep.
