Pep Guardiola declared Sergio Aguero 'a legend' after the forward became the first player since Thierry Henry to score 20 English Premier League goals in five successive seasons. Aguero struck in the 63rd minute to secure Manchester City's 1-0 win away to Burnley at Turf...

City remain on course to finish the season with an unprecedented domestic treble. Having won the League Cup in February, they return to Wembley to play Watford in the FA Cup final on May 18.

Aguero, who had seen an earlier chance blocked by Tom Heaton, scored after turning on to Bernardo Silva's low cross and fashioning a shot that Matt Lowton looked to have blocked. City were denied a second by a superb goal-line clearance from Ben Mee, who stretched to clear off the line after substitute Gabriel Jesus had rounded Heaton.

The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss added:"There are just two games left. It is tough for Liverpool, it is tough for us - with 91, 92 points, still not champions."Guardiola suggested that City's task at Turf Moor was made tougher by the dryness of the pitch, although he made clear this was not a complaint.
