Burnley vs Man City: Gabriel Jesus’ Brace Sends Guardiola’s Team To Second On EPL Standings

It was an easy ride for Manchester City at Turf Moor on Tuesday night in the English Premier League (EPL) as Gabriel Jesus’ brace sinks Burnley in a five-goal thriller.

Pep Guardiola’s team returns to winning ways away from home after the 2-2 draw against Newcastle at the weekend.

City had won only once in their previous five games in all competitions to start the day 11 points behind leaders Liverpool.

But they were convincing at Turf Moor with Jesus curling home a fine opener for his first goal in 11 games.

The Brazilian then volleyed home Bernardo Silva’s cross after the break.

Midfielder Rodri added a stunning third from 20 yards and substitute Riyad Mahrez netted a fourth to take them back into second place in the league.

Robbie Brady blasted in a late consolation for the Clarets, his first Premier League goal in more than two years.
