Man City win at Burnley could come back to haunt them – here’s why

 Manchester City defeated Burnley 1-0, with Erling Haaland scoring the decisive early goal.

The victory propelled Manchester City to the top of the Premier League table, ahead of Arsenal on goals scored.

Burnley's relegation from the Premier League was officially confirmed following the defeat.

Despite the win, Manchester City displayed a lack of ruthlessness, scoring only once from 28 shots and hitting the post and bar.

The result marked Manchester City's 15th consecutive victory against Burnley, though the narrow margin raised concerns if goal difference becomes a factor in the title race.
