Huddersfield Town shock United, City contiune their free-scoring form
Sergio Aguero returned to action after his horrific car accident and netted from the spot after Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope contentiously adjusted to have fouled Bernardo Silva. Second-half goals from Nicolas Otamendi and Leroy Sane completed victory. City has won their last seven league games, scoring 20 goals in their last four home games. They have scored 32 goals in nine matches this season and conceded only four times.
Manchester City are on a roll, their free-flowing attacking football is pure entertainment, the moment, the passes, everything is clicking at the moment which was at a full show once again as Pep Guardiola side thrashed Burnley 3-0 to move five points clear at the Premier League summit.

Manchester City have allowed 14 shots on target in nine league games. Ludicrously solid.

While the blue half of Manchester witnessed another superb performance, the red half suffered a shock 2-1 defeat at promoted Huddersfield Town. Aaron Mooy and Laurent Depoitre scored at the John Smith's Stadium to give Huddersfield a first win over United since 1952 and condemn Jose Mourinho's side to their first loss of the campaign.

United's defeat in rain-lashed Huddersfield followed their 0-0 draw at Liverpool last weekend and a laboured 1-0 victory away to Benfica in the Champions League in mid-week. The Red Devils are second in the table, five points behind Manchester City.
