MANCHESTER, England, Rabi'I 6, 1436, Dec 28, 2014, SPA -- Manchester City threw away a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 at home to struggling Burnley on Sunday, squandering the chance to close the gap on leader Chelsea to one point, AP reported. David Silva and Fernandinho scored for City in a commanding first-half display, but George Boyd began Burnley's comeback two minutes after the break and Ashley Barnes grabbed the equalizer in the 81st minute. It leaves the defending champions, who played without a recognized striker, still three points behind Chelsea, which was held 1-1 at Southampton. Burnley's fightback denied City a club record 10th successive win but the promoted team remains in the relegation zone. It was an unexpected end to the game for City. -- SPA 22:29 LOCAL TIME 19:29 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
