KYLE WALKER SCORES TO GIVE CITY VICTORY OVER SHEFFIELD UTD.

Kyle Walker’s first Premier League away goal handed Manchester City a 1-0 win over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.

Ferran Torres twice went close for City early on, heading wide before testing Aaron Ramsdale from close range.

City took the lead on 28 minutes with a goal from Walker, a former Sheff Utd player. On his 100th Premier League appearance for City, Walker received Kevin De Bruyne’s pass and shot in low from outside the area.

Sheff Utd’s best spell came around the 70-minute mark as substitute John Lundstram fired over from a well-worked opening.

Ramsdale again denied Bernardo Silva from doubling City’s lead late on, one of seven saves the goalkeeper made.

City are four matches unbeaten and rise to seventh with 11 points. Sheffield United remain on one point in 19th.

BURNLEY 0-3 CHELSEA: ZIYECH INSPIRES BLUES TO IMPRESSIVE VICTORY AT TURF MOOR

Hakim Ziyech scored one goal and created another on his first Premier League start as Chelsea beat Burnley 3-0 at Turf Moor.

Ashley Barnes had Burnley’s best chance on five minutes but, after controlling a ball over the top, the striker shot over.

Ziyech’s first Premier League goal came in the 26th minute, when the Moroccan converted a low shot that wrongfooted Nick Pope.

Chelsea doubled their lead on 63 minutes when Mason Mount’s corner was powerfully headed in by Kurt Zouma.

Ziyech turned provider seven minutes later for Timo Werner to make it 3-0, with the German only starting after Christian Pulisic was injured in the warm-up.

Chelsea are five unbeaten and rise to fourth with 12 points.

Burnley are bottom with just one point.
