Erling Haaland’s fifth-minute solo goal helped Manchester City secure three points and a clean sheet as the Cityzens go to the top of the Premier League table relegating Arsenal to second.
Also, the goal confirmed Burnley’s place in the English Championship next season as they were relegated from the Premier League.
The Norwegian striker received a pass from Jeremy Doku, raced towards goal before burying the ball into the bottom corner to give Manchester City maximum points.
Manchester City came into the tie with the opportunity of going top of the Premier League for the first time this season after beating Arsenal on Sunday.

The 37-year-old made eight saves from nine attempts at goal as Manchester City dominated from start to finish.
Meanwhile, Manchester City are now top of the table on goal difference over Arsenal with five matches left.
