City's narrow victory at Turf Moor sent Burnley down and lifted City above Arsenal to the summit of the Premier League table.

City climb to the top

Manchester City defeated Burnley 1-0 on 22 April to move above Arsenal at the top of the Premier League, while simultaneously condemning Burnley to relegation.

The single-goal margin proved enough for City to displace Arsenal from first place, with the result tightening what has been a closely contested title race.

Arsenal respond

Arsenal reclaimed top spot three days later with a 1-0 win over Newcastle, moving three points clear of City. City, however, hold a game in hand over the Gunners, keeping the title race unresolved.

Burnley relegated

The defeat confirmed Burnley's relegation from the Premier League. The club had needed points to sustain any survival bid, but City's victory closed that door.
