Manchester City has completed its ominous, late-season rise to the top of the Premier League.
City beat Burnley 1-0 thanks to Erling Haaland’s fifth-minute goal and ended Arsenal’s 200-day stay in first place.
The result condemned American-owned Burnley to relegation after one season back in the top flight.
With goal difference potentially coming into play, City might regret not putting more past Burnley at Turf Moor.
Winning by a one-goal margin left City and Arsenal tied on 70 points and with both on a goal difference of +37.
City only leads courtesy of more goals scored, 66 to Arsenal’s 63.
