Matthew Lowton of Burnley fails to prevent Sergio Aguero’s shot from crossing the line

David Silva also hesitated before having an effort blocked by James Tarkowski and Oleksandr Zinchenko’s follow-up attempt was deflected wide.Aguero went close with a curling effort from the edge of the area but Heaton appeared to have it covered and Guardiola reacted with frustration when Leroy Sane shot tamely at the keeper.Getty4

David Silva sees his effort blocked against Burnley

City started the second period with greater intensity and Aguero forced a good save from Heaton before the visitors had a strong penalty appeal turned down when a David Silva shot struck Barnes on the arm.Heaton saved well from Bernardo Silva as City applied more pressure and Aguero drove a shot wide.The breakthrough finally came in scrappy fashion after 63 minutes as Bernardo Silva drove the ball into the box. Aguero initially miskicked but the ball remained at his feet and the Argentinian managed to poke the ball over the line at the second attempt – by a tiny margin according to the technology – before Matt Lowton could clear.
