Man City draw again as Burnley strike late on
London: Manchester City had to settle for a fifth consecutive Premier League draw on Saturday, finishing 3-3 with Burnley after having battled back from a two-goal deficit to lead with three minutes remaining.
Tottenham Hotspur took advantage to move back into the top four above City with a 2-0 home defeat of Sunderland while Aston Villa climbed to fifth with a 5-1 hammering of Bolton Wanderers at Villa Park.
Portsmouth remain bottom of the table after losing 3-1 at fellow strugglers Blackburn Rovers.
City looked to have sealed the points when goals from Shaun Wright-Phillips, Kolo Toure and Craig Bellamy wiped out Burnley’s 2-0 lead but Kevin McDonald struck late to earn the visitors their first away point this season.
Tottenham have 22 points, the same as Arsenal who can leapfrog Manchester United into second spot if they win at Wolverhampton Wanderers later.
Chelsea host United on Sunday when victory would give Carlo Ancelotti’s side a five-point lead over the champions.
