Algeria winger Riyad Mahrez scored two goals for Manchester City at the Etihad stadium on Monday as the hosts showed their impressive strength in depth, making eight changes but still crushing a woeful Burnley 5-0.
The win leaves second-placed City 20 points behind runaway league leaders Liverpool with eight games remaining.
Burnley manager Sean Dyche could only name seven of the allowed nine substitutes, two of them goalkeepers, with his inexperienced bench without four regulars who have not signed contract extensions and it was a long night for the Clarets.
