Two goalscoring midfielders saw Manchester City reclaim their place at the summit of the Premier League table with a comfortable victory at Turf Moor.

Electric in the first half, assisting the first goal with a clever cutback and picking out Gundogan brilliantly for the second after making a good run to get into space. Had very, very little to do and couldn't be held accountable for the offside Burnley goal. Kevin De Bruyne struck sweetly into the top corner after just five minutes to give Pep Guardiola's side the lead, after which the result never really felt in jeopardy.

Liverpool completed its 119-day mission to displace Manchester City from atop the English Premier League. It only lasted a matter of hours.

Rodri had tested Pope with a curling shot and sent a volley wide before City doubled their lead in the 25th minute. Bernardo Silva had started a league game on the bench for the first time since August, a run of 28 matches, but replaced De Bruyne late on and almost immediately set up Jesus, who saw his first shot hit the post before bending a follow-up wide. The pressure continued, with Pope doing more in the first five minutes of the second half than he did in all of England’s 3-0 win over Ivory Coast on Tuesday, first keeping out a front-post flick from Foden, then a more powerful shot from Gündogan, then a curling effort from Kyle Walker.

Both sides picked up 2-0 wins in their return to Premier League action.

For the most part, however, the hosts were made to work exceedingly hard by a Watford side that look greatly improved from the disorganized rabble that had been crushed 5-0 by the Reds earlier this season. Ultimately, however, Jota showed a predatory quality that the Hornets lacked as he flicked Liverpool into the lead with his league-leading fourth headed goal of the season, not bad for a 5ft8in striker. Liverpool briefly jumped into top spot with a Diogo Jota-inspired 2-0 win over Watford but it did not take long for Manchester City to assure themselves of first place at Turf Moor, where Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne scored in the first 25 minutes.

Sports Desk, Apr 2 (EFE).- Liverpool and Premier League leaders Manchester City won their respective matches on Saturday to remain just a point apart ahead ...

Kai Havertz appeared to narrow the deficit for the hosts in the 65th minute, only to see the goal disallowed because the ball touched his arm as he chested it down. With 51 points, Man United are sixth in the table, trailing fourth-place Arsenal by three points and the Gunners have two games in hand. Kevin de Bruyne blasted the ball past Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope in the 5th minute and Ilkay Gündogan got the second goal 20 minutes later.

The race for the Premier League title is in full effect as Manchester City beat Burnley to reclaim the top spot away from Liverpool.

There is the possibility, however, the match ends in a draw and it’s status quo. Both teams are feeling the pressure as the season is winding down. People see the situation like pressure – I’m not sure I can change that,” Klopp said. But it didn’t take long for Man City to pull ahead as Kevin de Bruyne scored only five minutes into the game, thus taking off any sort of pressure City could have been feeling. “The pitch was so high and our rhythm was not easy but we controlled, we didn’t concede much corners or free-kicks when Burnley are a top-class team in those terms,” he said. Liverpool piled the pressure on City as Jurgen Klopp’s side beat Watford 2-0.

City have the best away record in the top flight, winning 11 of their 15 away games (D3, L1). Manchester City have lost just one of their last 19 Premier League matches (W16, D2). That's a midfield three with steel and guile in abundance.

With Erik ten Hag previously learning the tricks of the trade from Pep Guardiola as the manager of the Bayern Munich reserve team, the Manchester City boss’ approval of the Dutch coach could be step one in lining him up as the rightful successor. Additionally, David Ornstein of the Athletic had also revealed that Pere Guardiola - the brother and agent of the Manchester City boss had joined forces with Sports Entertainment Group - the same agency that Erik ten Hag is associated with. Sami Mokbel of the Daily Mail had also claimed that the 52-year old had been taking English lessons, as he is preparing for a move to the Premier League next summer.

Liverpool can count on vociferous away support, and it does not take much to imagine a nervy atmosphere descending on the Etihad. Every successful pressure or breaching of the back line will plant a seed of doubt among the Man City players and crowd, one that has the potential to grow into a strangling weed. An open game leaves more scope for that: by needlessly turning this game into a must-win, Manchester City are setting themselves up for a slugfest, and Liverpool are the league’s top scorers. In fairness, Guardiola came out on top in a similarly crucial league game the following year, but it is often forgotten that the high-quality 2-1 win happened in January. It has only been ascribed so much significance in retrospect because both teams were so flawless in the run-in. In recent meetings between the sides, the mutual respect has been clear, and the reality that a draw would probably be a decent result has always been looming in the background. Liverpool need to adjust their perspective a little this time, knowing that only a win will put them in the ascendency, but Manchester City could theoretically play things slightly safer. Playing for a draw can be a terrible mistake: going all the way back to 1989, Liverpool’s knowledge that even a one-goal defeat against Arsenal would win them the league absolutely ruined their performance.

Of course, there is another option- one that involves all three playing, should Guardiola opt to set up a false nine system. It seems to be on a knife's edge as we stand. It's down to Guardiola now to decide who partners the Belgian in the other number eight position. And of course, more shutouts like the one against Burnley can't possibly hurt City's title charge. Could Saturday's scoresheet be a sign that City will need their midfielders in amongst the goals to get through the next four matches unscathed? Kevin De Bruyne has really tied on his shooting boots in the second half of this campaign, too.
