EPL: Goals from Bernardo, De Bruyne hand Man City in over Burnley

Manchester City stay within a point of Liverpool at the top of the table thanks to a 2-0 victory over Burnley on Saturday.

Bernardo Silva opened the scoring, tapping home from close range after Nick Pope dived to his left to stop Phil Foden’s low drive but could only present the ball into the Portuguese forward’s path.

There were some nervous moments for City before Kevin De Bruyne made it two, smashing home a lose ball with his left foot after Ashley Westwood and Riyad Mahrez collided in the box.

Burnley remain second-bottom of the table but will be encouraged by how they battled the reigning champions on equal terms for much of the game.
