Benjamin Mendy scored his first Manchester City goal in Saturday's 5-0 win against Burnley but that may well have overshadowed what was a fairly poor overall display from the overall Monaco man.

The left-back volleyed home Kevin De Bruyne's cross in the first half to make it 3-0 to the home side, which was his first goal for the Citizens on what was his 60th appearance for the club (per Transfermarkt).

Since joining from Monaco in 2017, the 26-year-old has endured a torrid time with injuries, which have seriously limited his game time for the club.

Although he will no doubt be happy to have returned to Premier League action for the first time since early October with a goal, his overall performance was not that good.

As per SofaScore, Mendy won just two of the seven duels he was involved in against Sean Dyche's side, whilst also losing the ball on 19 occasions, which was the most of any Manchester City player during the game.

Of the 67 passes he played, only 55 found their mark, resulting in an overall pass accuracy rate of 82%.

His crosses, which are normally one of the stronger parts of his game, were also disappointing against Burnley, with none of his four attempts finding a Manchester City shirt.

Only one of his six attempted long balls was accurate too, suggesting that his passing could have been a lot better on Saturday afternoon.

Back in 2019, Guardiola was full of praise for Mendy after his performance against Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League, saying:

“He has incredible physicality when he is fit when his mind is in the right position.

“He’s in an extraordinary player." (per Manchester City)

Considering Mendy has only just come back from injury, however, it would not be a surprise to see Joao Cancelo return to the City starting 11 for their next game, which sees them face Porto away from home in the Champions League on Tuesday.
