Manchester City Takes League Lead

Erling Haaland's early fifth-minute strike at Turf Moor was enough to secure the three points for Pep Guardiola's side, who now lead the table on goals scored.

While the performance was subdued, the victory places the title race firmly in City's hands with five matches remaining.

Burnley's loss marks their third demotion in five seasons, highlighting the difficult 'yo-yo' cycle for the American-owned club.

Arsenal, now in second place, must rely on a City misstep in the final weeks of the season to reclaim the summit.
