Premier League: Manchester City whoop Burnley FC 5-0

-
The match was Manchester City's second since the Premier League resumed after their first match ended in a 3-0 trouncing of Arsenal FC, and they followed up their second in similar fashion as they overpowered Burnley FC 5-0.

The first goal of the match arrived in the 22nd after young Phil Foden scored a 25-yard strike into the right bottom corner. His second goal in as many days having also scored against Arsenal FC last week Wednesday.

The second goal was scored by Algerian winger Riyad Mahrez after he latched on to a beautifully weighted pass from Fernadinho and scored across Nick Pope with his weaker right foot. 

The pacey winger also converted a penalty to give city a 3-0 cushion just before the break as Burnley's Been Mee was adjudged by the VAR to have been a fraction late in his challenge on Sergio Aguero. Although, Nick Pope went the right way, taking nothing away from the penalty though.

Captain and Club Legend David Silva was not left out as he latched onto an assist from Bernardo Silva after a beautiful reverse pass from Phil Foden to score the Citizens fourth goal of the day.

Bernardo Silva's low cross was touched on to the path of Phil Foden by Gabriel Jesus and the 20 year old tucked the ball away with relative ease as he completed the 5-0 route that he had started in the 63rd minute.  

Facts from the game:

* Sergio Aguero hobbled off after the penalty incident. We hope it's not a serious injury
* During the match, Burnley issued a statement to strongly condemn those responsible for a plane flown over the Etihad Stadium carrying a banner that read "White Lives Matter Burnley".

What's next?
City travel to Stamford Bridge for a tricky tie against the Blues, while Burnley welcome Watford to Turf Moor

Chelsea have confirmed that they will play in Champions League next season as goals from Mason Mount and Olivier Giroud sealed a 2-0 win on the final day of the Premier League season. Although the Blues had a sluggish start to the game, but two goals in first half stoppage time. First, through a brilliant Mason Mount free kick, before Giroud doubled the lead a short while later. Although the first half of the match was highly devoid of action until a wonderful Mason Mount free kick goal. While, Christian Pulisic and Mason Mount combined to set up Giroud, before he rounded Rui Patricio and held off Conor Coady before scoring into an empty net. Diogo Jota brought out a save from Willy Caballero just before the hour. But the Blues were hardly troubled as they held on to 4th position in the league in Lampard's first season in charge.

Bournemouth 0-2 Southampton:Danny Ings score as the loss leaves Cherries on the brink of relegation

Danny Ings scored his 21st Premier League goal of the season as Southampton defeated Bournemouth 2-0 at the Vitality Stadium.  Ings scored with a good finish in tge 41st minute as he put glitters to sweeping Saints counter attack.  He had a chance to double his side's lead, but he sent a tame shot that was saved by Aaron Ramsdale, after Harry Wilson handled in the box. Bournemouth thought they had equalised through Sam Surridge, only for VAR to judge that Callum Wilson was in an offside position whilst also interfering with play, before Substitute Che Adams hit the final nail in the coffin to almost certainly dash Bournemouth's hopes of staying up. Eddie Howe's men are three points from safety with a trip to Everton still to come. Survival on goal difference is the best they can hope for, as 17th placed Watford will condemn the Cherries to the 2nd division for next season, if and only if they can claim a point from one of their last two games with matches agains...

Milan moved up to fifth in the Serie A standings courtesy of a Zlatan Ibrahimovic double after the veteran striker's first half brace either side of Francesco Caputo's penalty. Milan took the lead after Kessie would the ball as Sassuolo attempted playing from the back, before Hakan Calhanoglu's cross was nodded in by the big Swede. Milan lost two players to injury as they had to be without Andrea Conti and Captain Alessio Romagnoli, before Caputo converted from the penalty spot after a lengthy VAR review. But Calhanoglu and Ibrahimovic combined again before the end of the first half as Ibra gathered the Turkish international's through ball before rounding Andrea Consigli to score. What's next?
