A 12th consecutive Premier League win means Manchester City are only two more victories away from beating Liverpool to the title.
Match Events
22' SAVE! Ederson rushes off his line and controls the ball
Hendrick looks for Wood who is through on goal. The Kiwi gets the benefit of the doubt from the linesman but Ederson is out quickly to smother it!
40' NICE TRY! Aguero's shot over the bar
Aguero proves that point by thumping a shot towards the top corner of Burnley's goal after their defenders give him just a tiny bit of room in front of their box. Thankfully for Burnley it flashes just past the post.
48' SHOT! Aguero's shot saved
City crank up the pressure! First Aguero smashes a shot towards Heaton's near post, forcing the keeper into an instinctive save. City have two more shots blocked from David Silva and Bernardo Silva from the corner, and the period of play ends with Laporte heading into Heaton's arms.
52' CHANCE! Bernardo Silva's shot saved
Heaton keeps his team in it! A smart save from the Burnley keeper denies Bernardo Silva who batters the ball at him at the near post. Burnley are hanging on at the moment.
63' GOAL! Burnley 0-1 Man City (Aguero)
Aguero gets on the end of a low Bernardo Silva cross as the Portuguese player cuts inside. Aguero tries to sweep the ball in but has his shot apparently cleared off the line. The ref checks his watch - it's over the line by an inch and City's players and fans go wild. They have the breakthrough they need!
Match Report
Sergio Aguero scored another crucial goal for Manchester City as his strike in a 1-0 win at Burnley moved the defending champions back above Liverpool to the top of the Premier League table.
City were frustrated for long periods at Turf Moor on Sunday but they found the breakthrough in the 63rd minute, Aguero scoring his 20th Premier League goal of the season.
Aguero's strike evaded the desperate efforts of Burnley defender Matt Lowton to clear off the line, with City's 12th straight league victory moving Pep Guardiola's side a point above Liverpool with two games remaining.

wao wao wao.... yestaday Ronaldo scored the only goal for juventus in the 62 m to save juventus from shame.. messi also score the only goal in 62 m to save Barcelona the tittle. Today Aguero scored the only goal in the 63 m to save man city the trophy . this means that there is a connection between this hero's.. I love football.

Hey this Man City team donโt want to give Liverpool the EPL title. They should have some mercy for Liverpool. They still went to Burnley and took all the 3 point today . Winning 13 straight premier leagues games. This incredible. It will again put more pressure on Liverpool, specially they also have a tough game with Barca at Camp Nou. But all the same between Liverpool and Man City who ever wins the EPL trophy ๐ this season deserves it. They both have fought hard and make the EPL very competitive. Good luck Man City for the remaining two games. The victory is in our hands.

๐๐๐WELL DONE Man City! Not a big victory, but yet a VITAL WIN! Burnley sought to burn up the title hope, but no matter how hard they have tried, they ended defeated and burned๐ ๐As for Liverpool and their fans, DON'T BLAME BURNLEY! THEY DID ALL THEY COULD AND GAVE ALL TO SAVE YOU, BUT MAN CITY IS TOO POWERFUL AND TOO HARD TO BEAT! Next is Leicester! Go ask for their help, though they too ... ๐I was laughing loud when I read Liverpool fans celebrating after the first half! And I replied saying they should enjoy the little moment as possible as they can, because they'll end up crying๐ข. And that's what happened! ๐The sad thing about Liverpool is that THEY HAVE BROKEN THEIR OWN PAST RECORDS IN EPL, AND YET, IT'S NOT ENOUGH AND THEY CAN'T MAN CITY TO LIFT THE TROPHY.
