Hello
Haaland, who bagged a Premier League season-record 36 goals and a total of 52 in all competitions for treble winners City last season, slotted his side in front after four minutes.
Needing a win to reclaim top spot after title rivals Liverpool beat Watford 2-0 earlier on Saturday, first half goals from Kevin de Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan sealed all three points for Pep Guardiola's side at Burnley.
An 83rd minute penalty from Ashley Barnes, after he was brought down by goalkeeper Alisson Becker, decided the contest after Juergen Klopp's side failed to score for the fourth straight league match.
The plane appeared shortly after Manchester City and Burnley players took a knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. There was no indication who had organised the plane and banner.
