Premier League football returned with the opening match of the 2023/24 season as reigning champions Manchester City travelled to newly-promoted Burnley, managed by former City captain Vincent Kompany. Kelly Cates was joined by Jamie Carragher, Gary Neville and Izzy Christiansen who reflected on the treble winners’ 3-0 win at Turf Moor on Friday night.
Erling Haaland started this campaign like he did the previous, scoring twice and his performance was singled out by Carragher who feels that there is still more to come from the forward despite already setting high standards last season. Neville highlighted City’s work rate and said that was the most impressive factor in their win. There is also post-match reaction from the player of the match Haaland as well as both Pep Guardiola and Vincent Kompany.
