Manchester City have claimed the top spot in the Premier League for the first time since the opening week following a laboured 1-0 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor on Wednesday. The win allows City to overtake Arsenal in the title race, leading the table on goals scored.
An early first-half goal from Erling Haaland secured the result for City. The victory condemned Burnley to relegation, sending the Clarets back down to the Sky Bet Championship.
The result ends Arsenal's six-month stay at the summit, where the Gunners had remained for 200 consecutive days. With five games remaining, the title race has become a riveting shootout that may last until the very end.
