"It has been a good month with Newcasle, Leipzig, Palace and today. A good result, a really tough one, we didn't expect man-to-man all around the pitch. Only Stefan Ortega was the free man and we have to play more direct to Erling and the wingers.

"The second half was better, 2-0 helped us. Impressed with Burnley, it's not a surprise what they're doing in the Championship."

The man of the match Erling Haaland's hattrick 32', 35', 59' while Alvarez grabbed a brace 62', 73' and Palmer came off the bench to score at 68'.
