Manchester City made hard work of a 2-0 Premier League win against Burnley at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, remaining just a point behind Liverpool.
City had won each of their previous four home games against Burnley 5-0 but this time settled simply for taking three points from a slightly sloppy display.
Coming out of an international break without some key men – and having seen Liverpool thrash Watford earlier in the day – the result was all that mattered.
Bernardo Silva s 12th-minute strike initially hinted at a rather more straightforward affair for the champions, though it was left to Kevin De Bruyne to belatedly make the game safe.
