BREAKING: Haaland Scores As Man City Defeat Burnley To Top EPL Table
Manchester City moved top of the Premier League for the first time since August, but only on goals scored over title rivals Arsenal after labouring to a 1-0 win at Burnley.
The defeat for Burnley condemned them to relegation and an immediate return to the Championship, but they did Arsenal something of a favour with an impressive act of damage limitation.
City’s 2-1 win over Arsenal last Sunday handed them the initiative in the title race going into their game in hand, and a meeting with Scott Parker’s strugglers offered the chance to build a goal difference advantage over the Gunners.
It was one they looked set to take when Erling Haaland netted in the sixth minute to equal the goal difference with Arsenal.
