Manchester City have gone above Arsenal to top the Premier League but their performance in a 1-0 win at Burnley shows this title race is far from over, says Gary Neville.
City were expected to blow Burnley away off the back of their thrilling title-race showdown win over Arsenal at the Etihad on Sunday.
It started well for them, with Erling Haaland clipping in an excellent opener after just five minutes but the second goal didn't come and in the end Pep Guardiola looked relieved to hear the full-time whistle, after relegated Burnley created some nervy moments.

Erling Haaland's cool finish sees Manchester City in front at Burnley.
City lead Arsenal on goals scored - they have scored three more times than the Gunners this season - with the teams otherwise level on points and goal difference.
Arsenal play twice before City next play in the league and can now seize their opportunity to reclaim the momentum in the chase for glory, while there may also be renewed hope that City will not win their five remaining league games.
"It's a win for Manchester City - but it's the best win Arsenal could have hoped for," Neville told Sky Sports.
