EPL: Man City defeat Burnley to usurp Arsenal as leaders

Manchester City defeated Burnley 1-0 in their English Premier League (EPL) encounter at Turf Moor on Wednesday night.

The Cityzens took control of the EPL title race thanks to Erling Haaland’s early goal against the Clarets, who are relegated to the English Championship with the defeat.

Manchester City took the lead in five minutes when Haaland darted through Burnley’s defence to meet Jeremy Doku’s through ball and expertly chipped the goalkeeper for his 24th league goal of the season.

The Norwegian striker also went close later but was denied by the post, and City went into the break with only a one-goal lead. Thecable
