Burnley manager Sean Dyche has admitted that his side were outclassed by a "fantastic" Manchester City side in their 3-0 defeat at the Etihad this afternoon.
Goals from Sergio Aguero, Nicolas Otamendi and Leroy Sane helped City move five points clear at the top of the Premier League table and notch up a club-record equalling 11th straight win in all competitions.
Prior to the game, Burnley had been unbeaten on the road this season but Dyche confessed that the strength of the opponents had 'exposed' the weaknesses of his team.
"They are fantastic at the moment and playing with confidence so you know it will be a tough day," he told reporters. "You have to get everything right. Some things got away from us, certainly the referee's decisions.
"We stuck at it but not enough. It's not a place you can come and expose your team. We tried to press the keeper when we could but they now have a keeper who can kick the length of the pitch.
"City now have a better mixture and they can play football but can also turn you. A much better mixture. We know we are still learning. Some if these clubs are the finished product."
The result leaves the Clarets ninth in the table with 13 points from their opening nine games.
