Sean Dyche came in to do a job and that job was to make sure they stayed out of the relegation zone. He's picked up a few points. It wasn't too dissimilar to the job he had to do at Everton.

We know that this owner doesn't like watching his team under-perform and he's not scared to make big decisions.

Dan Ballard again is just magnetic. Florian Wirtz tried to open it up, but it was a great block.

Crystal Palace are pushing for the equaliser as we enter the first of five minutes of stoppage time.

Will Hughes drives a shot at goal but it is deflected just wide. There's then a scramble in the box from the corner, but Burnley eventually clear.

Florian Wirtz again shows those dancing feet. He finds Ryan Gravenberch, who sets it nicely for the German but Dan Ballard gets a big block in.

Mo Salah's corner is a little awkward for Robin Roefs but the Sunderland keeper deals with it well under his own crossbar.

Mo Salah has the ball nicked off his toe but he shows great determination to take it back and win Liverpool a corner.

A change for Burnley late on as Lesley Ugochukwu is replaced by midfielder Florentino.

Robin Roefs catches a stray arm from Hugo Ekitike. There's nothing in it.

VAR agrees.

Captain Granit Xhaka watches on from the stands. Oh, how Sunderland wishes he were out in the middle of the pitch tonight.

Still playing at Villa Park where they're in the dying moments.

It hasn't been a classic - far from it. But Villa are looking good for a second top-four finish in three seasons.

That's some achievement.

Space opens up for Trai Hume about 25 yards from goal. It's worth an effort but Alisson watches it fly over the top.

Ibrahima Konate's clearance finds Hugo Ekitike on the left sideline. He goes past Dan Ballard like he's not there but there's a mix-up between him and Cody Gakpo as the attack breaks down.

All over and a comfortable win for Manchester City, who move to within three points of Arsenal.

A chance for a consolation late on as Josh King turns well just outside the box and lets fly with a shot that Gianluigi Donnarumma tips over.
