December 4, 2019 - Manchester City's title defence remains on track after a 4-1 win over Burnley at Turf Moor.

Gabriel Jesus scored twice for Manchester City, ending an eight-game goal drought, with Rodrigo and Riyad Mahrez also finding the net to move City above Leicester into second place on goal difference.

Robbie Brady pulled a late goal back for Burnley, who remain in 11th position on the log.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace moved up to 5th in the Premier League with a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth at Selhurst Park.

Jeffrey Schlupp scored the winning goal for Palace, who had Mamadou Sakho sent off early in the first half for a high challenge on Adam Smith.

Bournemouth dominated possession but failed to make the most of their man advantage, with Vicente Guaita in the Palace goal rarely tested.
