Manchester City edged ahead of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League as a 1-0 victory at Turf Moor condemned Burnley to relegation on Wednesday.
The defeat confirmed the Clarets’ third Premier League relegation in five seasons, consigning them to the Championship alongside Wolves next season.
Erling Haaland scored the only goal as Pep Guardiola’s men ended the day top of the table for the first time since August, but the City boss was frustrated at his side’s inability to win by a greater margin.
City go ahead of the Gunners only on goals scored, with five games left for both the title contenders.
“The chances were there. We created a lot. We made a fantastic game,” said Guardiola. “We did everything after a demanding game three days ago.”
However, City have on paper the tougher run-in as they aim to snatch a seventh league title in nine years.
