Manchester City's Mahrez reacts to his Premier League feat in Burnley victory

Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez is delighted to be the first Algerian to reach a half-century of goals in the Premier League.

Mahrez found the back of the net with a low drive in the 87th minute which took his tally to 50 goals in the English top-flight as City sealed a 4-1 win over their hosts on Tuesday.

The Algeria international became the ninth African player to hit the milestone, having scored 39 goals at Leicester City and 11 goals for the Etihad Stadium outfit in a total of 177 league appearances.
