Manchester City takes one step closer to Premier League title with nervous win over Burnley Globe_Sports
Sergio Aguero scored the only goal of the game as Manchester City earned a crucial win against Burnley.Cruelly denied by the video assistant referee in its agonizing Champions League exit, Manchester City relied on technology to keep its Premier League title charge on course on Sunday.
With its 12th straight victory in the league, City – seeking to retain the title for the first time – moved one point clear of Liverpool with two games left. City’s last two games are at home to Leicester and away to Brighton, while Liverpool still has to face Newcastle away and Wolverhampton Wanderers at home.
De Gea had also produced errors to concede goals against Barcelona and Manchester City over the past two weeks. Not long ago, he was regarded as United’s best player, but he is turning into a liability. In the past 10 games involving the four teams in the race for the top four, only one of them has claimed a win.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles was Arsenal’s biggest culprit in the loss at Leicester after getting himself sent off for collecting a second booking in the 36th minute.Youri Tielemans put Leicester ahead in the 56th and Jamie Vardy added two late goals for Brendan Rodgers’ team, which climbed to eighth. It is three points behind Wolverhampton Wanderers in the fight for seventh place, which may still earn a route to the Europa League.
