Highlights: Manchester City 2-2 Burnley

Manchester City came into this on the back of seven consecutive wins, letting in just three goals and scoring 17 in the process. Due to the absence of strikers because of injuries, Pellegrini has resorted to playing a false nine with Silva playing on top. Burnley visited Etihad after back to back defeats against Tottenham and Liverpool.

City failed to clear a set piece which allowed Barnes just enough time to hit a half volley perfectly into the top left corner of the net. Hart clearly beaten.

Burney held on to record a brilliant 2-2 away result against City. Burnley also became the first team since Fulham in 2009 October to come back from a two goal deficit to earn a point at the Etihad.

This result means Manchester City stays second on the table and Burnley remain 19th.
