WHO'S GOING TO BE YOUR

MAN OF THE MATCH?

Match summary

Manchester City returned to the top of the Premier League table with an impressive 5-0 victory over Burnley.

Sergio Aguero was denied at point-blank range by Joe Hart early on, but on 17 minutes the former Man City goalkeeper could do nothing to stop the striker scoring his 149th PL goal from David Silva's pass.

Bernardo Silva fired into the top corner to make it 2-0 in the 54th minute, after David Silva played him in as Burnley players paused, while Leroy Sane's penalty appeal was waved away by referee Jonathan Moss.

A thunderous strike from Fernandinho made it 3-0 two minutes later, before Riyad Mahrez curled in a fourth and Sane scored late on. 

Man City took advantage of Chelsea's draw with Manchester United to go two points clear of the Blues on 23 points, but are ahead of Liverpool on goal difference only. 

Burnley are in 13th on eight points.
