Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Manchester City returned to the top of the Premier League standings after beating Burnley 1-0 on Sunday, April 28, with two games now for them to end the season.

Burnley needed a win in this encounter so as to keep them away from the relegation zone and they kept Manchester City from scoring in the first 45 minutes.

Bernardo Silva had the first chance for Manchester City in the 7th minute after receiving a fine pass from Leroy Sane, but his shot failed to hit the target as Aguero scored the winner.
