Man City climb to Premier League summit after victory relegates Burnley

Erling Haaland’s early goal fired Manchester City to the top of the Premier League as a 1-0 win at Burnley, which sent the Clarets back down to the Sky Bet Championship.

Haaland struck just five minutes in at a subdued Turf Moor as City ended Arsenal’s 200-day reign at the top but only on goals scored – any hopes City had of improving their goal difference were frustrated on a night when they both Rayan Cherki and Haaland hit a post.

City ended the night having had 28 attempts at goal, but could not find a second strike when they had hoped for several.

A win that takes us to the top
