HARRY KANE potentially sacrificed breaking Alan Shearer’s Premier League goals record by moving to Bayern Munich.

But perhaps the England captain decided there was no point staying at Tottenham to overtake Shearer’s haul of 260 goals.

Not when Erling Haaland could blow the record to pieces in a few years’ time.

Because this is exactly what will happen if City’s freak of nature decides to hang around in the Premier League.

The only thing standing in the way of the 23-year-old City striker shattering all records — not just Premier League records post-1992 — will undoubtedly be the Norwegian forward’s decision to reject an anticipated offer from Real Madrid.

Haaland has scored 38 goals in the Premier League in just one season and one match in his City career, which is absurd.

With his first touch of the season, Haaland punctured Burnley’s party balloon by scoring after just 184 seconds.

Then, just as Vincent Kompany’s squad was beginning to control this game, he snatched a real stunner.

Rodri scored a third in an otherwise irrelevant second half, with Burnley ending the match with ten men.

This was a tough night for former City star Kompany but hardly a disaster.

Despite not playing at their best City illustrated in devastating style how they can rip apart a team in a couple of seconds.

The only downside was another injury for Kevin De Bruyne. He came off early in the Champions League final and midway through the first half here he was forced off again.

Here’s another angle of Haaland’s devastating early breakthrough

Although during that time, Burnley went down to ten men when sub Anass Zaroury was sent off thanks to VAR following a studs-up tackle on Walker.

THE FIRST red card of the Premier League season has been shown to Anass Zaroury in Burnley’s clash with Manchester City.

It capped off a miserable night for the Clarets who fell to a 3-0 defeat to the Premier League champions.

Zaroury had his yellow upgraded by VAR to review

Walker was forced off after the tackle

Zaroury was initially shown a yellow for his tackle on Kyle Walker but had the card upgraded to red after VAR intervened.

The Burnley winger desperately tried to stop Walker and lunged from behind to stop the England man’s attack.

Zaroury’s legs created a scissor motion which led to Walker getting caught awkwardly.

The England man looked to have turned his ankle as part of the contact and could be looking at a spell on the sidelines as a result.

It was the second time this year that Vincent Kompany had lost comprehensively to his former coach as Burnley manager.

His team collapsed to a 6-0 defeat in last year’s FA Cup quarter-final when they were in the Championship.

And while 3-0 represents an improvement, it shows this Clarets side has a way to go as they look to mix it with the Premier League elite this season.
