The result extended the Cityzens’ winning streak to an astonishing 10 matches in all competitions. The hosts dominated possession from the outset and opened the scoring in the 33rd minute through Bernardo Silva. The Portuguese midfielder latched onto a through ball from Kevin De Bruyne and slotted home with aplomb. After the break, City remained in control of the game and doubled their lead in the 70th minute. Phil Foden’s pinpoint cross found Riyad Mahrez, who headed the ball past Nick Pope. Burnley offered little attacking threat throughout the match, with City’s defense standing firm. Aymeric Laporte and John Stones were imperious, snuffing out any danger the visitors posed. The win takes Manchester City to 63 points after 25 games, 15 points clear of second-placed Manchester United. It also marked a record-equaling 10th consecutive victory at home in the Premier League, a feat last achieved by the Cityzens in 2017/18. Pep Guardiola’s team now turn their attention to a crunch clash with Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. A win for City would further cement their position at the top of the table and move them one step closer to a sixth Premier League title in seven years. For Burnley, the defeat leaves them languishing in 19th place with just 14 points. Sean Dyche’s men face a relegation battle in the coming months, and their next fixture against Watford on Saturday will be crucial in their bid for survival.
