What were the key moments in Manchester City's win against Burnley?

Unknown 0:05
But holding off, that's Filiqueta. Lukaku, who runs from shore, the pass is terrific. And Mata finds fast pace to slot the ball home. And Manchester United's good start has been rewarded with a goal. De Gea's fluffed it. Alonso has put it in. And David De Gea's made another howler.

And how costly will this one prove to be for Manchester United? They finished one apiece here at Old Trafford this afternoon. Seven attempts from Manchester United. They've only had fewer in games against Liverpool and Manchester City this season. Chelsea, 16 attempts, three on target. But that 16 is more than they had away to any other top six side this season. So where does that leave us? Well, Manchester City and Liverpool have won again at the top of the table, just one point between them, and not one victory between those four sides who are chasing a top-four finish. Spurs beaten yesterday on 70, Chelsea drawing here on 68, Arsenal now two behind, having lost 3-0 at Leicester today, and Manchester United with it all to do, three points behind Chelsea after that point here.

We can hear from Eden Hazard, he's been talking to Patrick Davison.
Eden Hazard 1:19
Aden, overall, good day for Chelsea? Yeah, good day, but it could be better. We came here and just think about winning the game. The draw is not a bad result for us, but I think if we believe a bit more in our chances, we could score another goal. But at the end, yes, it's a good result. Now we have two games, one at home and one away, so we'll try to be in the top four at the end. Do you feel like you improved as the match went on? Yeah, we started a bit slowly. We conceded a goal, but today we had a reaction. So that's the good thing. We scored a goal. In the second half, I don't remember one chance for them, so we were just in control of the game for the first half. And yes, I think we just played a good game.

How did David De Gea's error impact Manchester United's draw with Chelsea?

Patrick Davison 2:19
That belief you talked about in your first answer, why is that not there? Is that because away from home, particularly against the big six teams, it has been difficult for you?
Eden Hazard 2:27
I don't know. I don't know. You know, play away is not the same than when you play at home, of course. But I think we have big players. We can handle it with the pressure. So we just need a bit of... Not motivation, but determination, I think, to score this goal that can maybe be the difference between a draw and a win. But like I said at the end, I think it's a fair result for us. It was quite a physical game. Do you also think it was quite leniently refereed? I think the game was hard, but in a good sense. When you play against this kind of game, United, Chelsea, it's always tough. Football is a sport of contact, so I have no problem with that. I think the referee did a great game today. Yeah, I think that.
Eden Hazard 3:18
You're exhausted, I don't just mean today, but the number of games. Yeah, but it's not just this season, it's the last ten seasons. We are playing a lot of games and you know the Premier League is not easy. You need to fight all the games, 90 minutes if you want to win one game. So, yeah, it's hard, but... You know, we have everything, you know, physios and to work everywhere. So we'll do it. Now we have two weeks to play and then it's a holiday.
Patrick Davison 3:48
You're very close to Champions League now. And I don't want to draw you too much into your own future. But how important is that? Whatever you do, you're playing in the Champions League next season for a player of your quality.
Eden Hazard 3:58
Chelsea first.

What are the implications of the top four race for Chelsea and Manchester United?

Eden Hazard 3:58
Chelsea has to play in the Champions League every year. It's one of the biggest clubs in the world. And for myself also, I want to play in the Champions League. But we will.
Dave Jones 4:10
Well done. Thank you. Cheers, man.
Graeme Souness 4:29
I think what Hazard said is a fair reflection of the game. I think when you look at it, Man United better in the first half. And then Chelsea found a way to get back in there. Defending was better in the second half. And you could see they slowly got back into it. But overall, it came from a mistake how they got back into it. Hazard, on his standard, has had a really quiet game. But that just sums Chelsea up.
