Five, but Pep not satisfied

– Pep Guardiola challenged his Manchester City attack to be even more clinical after an impressive 5-0 victory over Burnley on Saturday lifted them back to the top of the Premier League.

Five different goalscorers were on target for the defending champions, who ensured that former club favourite Joe Hart endured an unhappy return to the Etihad Stadium.

The result leaves City with 26 goals from nine games already this season

“We had 24 shots, 10 on target,” said Guardiola. “We are averaging 21 shots per game – we’re the best side in Europe in shots.

“But we have to increase our on-target (shots) because the first half it was only 1-0 and we created enough chances to score more.”

For Mahrez, who missed a late penalty in City’s last game, a goalless draw with Liverpool, the afternoon was particularly fruitful.

“He played so well at Anfield and that is why I decided to play him today,” said Guardiola.

“He made an incredible goal but also his assists, he was so aggressive against the fullbacks when he got the ball. But he is a talented guy who likes to play with the ball and in the 16-yard box he is dangerous.” –
