Manchester City remain on top of the Premier League after a 2-0 win away to struggling Burnley. Any pressure Pep Guardiola`s side could have felt after Liverpool`s win at home to Watford in Saturday`s early kick off was dispelled in the fifth minute when Kevin de Bruyne`s finish from Raheem Sterling`s volley pass put them ahead.
Sterling was again the provider in the 25th minute when he found space down the right to cut the ball back for Ilkay Gundogan to wrong-foot Burnley keeper Nick Pope with a powerful half-volley.
