Pep Guardiola berates Erling Haaland at half-time of Man City's 3-0 win against Burnley...despite the superstar striker scoring a brace at the break

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was caught engaging in a heated exchange with Erling Haaland at half-time, despite the star striker netting twice before the break.

The Premier League defending champions eventually ran out 3-0 victors against newly-promoted Burnley on Friday night thanks to Haaland's double, ahead of a third from Rodri late on.

But even with his team having a two goal advantage at the interval, courtesy of the Norwegian, Guardiola did not hold back delivering a strong message to the young forward.

Guardiola explained after the game that the discussion centered on Haaland's desire to run onto passes rather than receive balls to feet.
