Manchester City drop points only for the 4th time this season.
Raheem Sterling’s Miss of the season prevented The Sky Blues from taking all 3 points on their tricky away fixture against Burnley.
The Clarets made the most of Manchester City’s wastefulness to snatch a 1-1 draw on Saturday. Despite their dominance, City had looked on course for another hard fought win, until Johann Gudmundsson popped up in the 83rd minute to snatch a point.
The Burnley backline could do nothing to stop Danilo’s long-distance rocket midway through the first half, but City’s failure to add to their tally left the game on a knife-edge, with Raheem Sterling guilty of two shocking close-range misses. After Aaron Lennon’s fierce shot was tipped onto the post by Ederson, Burnley kept at it and Gudmundsson kept his cool to deny them a win.
City boss Guardiola was forced to shrug off claims from Manchester United counterpart Jose Mourinho that the destination of the Premier League title is already certain, with the leaders enjoying a 15-point cushion at the top.
That advantage was 16 points by the full-time whistle at Turf Moor, and City are just eight wins away from securing a third title, although they were reminded of the league’s many hazards by Sean Dyche’s men.
Raheem Sterling’s will go down as the Miss of the season. City were leading 1-0 away at Burnley, İlkay Gündoğan played a super cross across the face of goal and all it needed was the simplest touch for 2-0.
But the England winger somehow managed to miss a chance from TWO yards.
