Champions are two wins away from retaining the Premiership title
London — Sergio Aguero was on target as Manchester City restored their one-point lead at the top of the Premier League with a nervous and scrappy 1-0 win over Burnley at Turf Moor on Sunday.
City struggled to get into their usual rhythm in the first half but came out strongly after the break and Burnley keeper Tom Heaton did well to keep out a fierce blast from Aguero at the near post. Burnley, however, pushed hard at the end with Guardiola bringing on two defenders as City held firm to claim the three points.
Arsenal had goalkeeper Bernd Leno to thank as the German made a string of saves to keep the visitors in the contest, but he had no chance when Tielemans sneaked past the defence to head home Maddison’s cross in the 59th minute.
