Manchester City cult hero Shaun Goater admits he's a big fan of Riyad Mahrez.

The Algerian winger showed some sublime touches in the 2-0 victory over Burnley and was a constant threat to the Clarets' defence.

“When Pep rotates, players come in and there is absolute quality in abundance," said Goater to City TV.

“Mahrez excites me, you know he wants to go on his left, but you don't know when!

“He is pure quality. I'm excited to see these players produce quality, make no mistake it isn't easy to do what they do every three or four days, but these guys play at a high level.

“We had to be on our game because Burnley made it tough and compact, but we were.

“And with Ilkay Gundogan ghosting up and down the pitch - I love him – always looking to get Mahrez in the game, it's looking really good for us."
