The Portuguese playmaker, who delivered a man of the match performance, opened the scoring in the 12th minute when he tapped in from two yards after Nick Pope could only Phil Foden’s effort into his path.
City were on top throughout the contest, though Zack Steffen was called into action by Maxwel Cornet and the hosts might have doubled our lead earlier had Riyad Mahrez not clipped the top of the crossbar when he was picked out by Bernardo’s cut-back.
The hosts got the second goal our play deserved 20 minutes from time when De Bruyne fired a loose ball into the far corner after the Clarets failed to clear his initial cross.
