Game is over and the final score is Burnley 1-1 Man City. Here is the match report.

Match Events

22' GOAL! Burnley 0-1 Manchester City (Danilo)

Simple as you like for City but what a strike from Danilo. De Bruyne takes a short corner to Bernardo Silva, who rolls the ball across the pitch to Danilo. The full-back takes a touch before curling an effort from 25 yards beyond the dive of Pope and into the top corner.
31' SAVE! Cork lofts the ball back into the penalty area and Walker is playing a host of Burnley players onside. Mee's the one who gets on the end of it, volleying the ball towards the bottom corner, but Ederson dives to his left to palm the ball away from goal.

71' WHAT A MISS! How has Raheem Sterling not made it 2-0 to City? De Bruyne plays Walker in behind and the full-back drills a low cross across the face of goal. Sterling's there for City, and from inside the six yard box, he fails to hit the target, missing an open goal. It has to go down as one of the misses of the season.

82' Burnley 1-1 Manchester City (Gudmundsson, 82)

Burnley were cranking up the pressure since Sterling's miss and they have their reward. Lowton's cross is inch-perfect and Gudmundsson reacts first, meeting it at the far post before poking the ball past Ederson and into the back of the net.

Nemanja Matic exclusive: Man Utd must win almost every game but title race isn't over

Nemanja Matic refuses to write off Manchester United's chances in the title race Nemanja Matic says Manchester United are not out of the title race, but admits they must win almost every game for the rest of the season to catch Manchester City. Man Utd's 2-1 defeat by rivals City on Sunday left them 11 points behind the Premier League leaders with just 16 games played. Many have been writing City's rivals off, such is the dominance of Pep Guardiola's unbeaten side, but Matic says there is a long way to go yet. W Brom vs Man Utd He told Soccer Saturday : "The gap is big, obviously 11 points is a lot, but the league is not finished. I'm sure there will be very interesting games until the end, and of course that they will drop some points. We will see what will happen. "As I say there are still many games to play and I th...

Clasico conspiracy? The truth on whether Barcelona or Real Madrid receive more red cards

Clasico conspiracy? The truth on whether Barcelona or Real Madrid receive more red cards. Both Clasico clubs have regularly claimed to have been victimised by officials but do the official stats support either side's case? Clement Lenglet's dismissal for an alleged elbow on Pere Pons in Barcelona's Liga draw with Girona on Sunday caused all sorts of controversy. Even Pons was surprised by referee Gil Manzano's VAR-assisted decision to dismiss Lenglet, with the midfielder admitting afterwards that he thought that he had fouled the French defender. "I took a blow but when I got up, I apologised to Lenglet and shook his hand because I thought it was my fault," he confessed. As bemused Barca boss Ernesto Valverde pointed out afterwards, "It's the first time that the player who is sent off receives an apology from his rival for fouling him!" It was a significant call, too, as Barcelona were leading through a Lionel Messi...
