Manchester City moved three points clear at the top of the Premier League as goals from Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling sealed a 2-0 win at Burnley on Wednesday.

Pep Guardiola’s side had watched Manchester United draw level on points with them on Tuesday after their bitter rivals crushed Southampton 9-0.

But City underlined their determination to hold onto top spot with a composed, mature display at Turf Moor. Jesus opened the scoring after a mistake from Burnley keeper Nick Pope and Sterling grabbed the second before halftime.

After a spluttering start to the season City are now in pole position to dethrone champions Liverpool.
