Raheem Sterling slips up against Burnley at the Etihad

Raheem Sterling suffered a rather unfortunate fall in the build-up to Manchester City's second goal against Burnley on Monday afternoon.

The England international hit the deck in rather amusing fashion as he attempted to round goalkeeper Tom Heaton in the box on his way to goal.

Fortunately for Sterling, though, his team-mate Sergio Aguero was on hand to follow up and slot the ball home afterwards. 

City had been reduced to 10 men in the first half at the Etihad Stadium after Fernandino saw red for a rash challenge on Johann Berg Gudmundsson.

They took the lead after the break, however, thanks to a rare goal from Gael Clichy, before substitute Aguero made it two soon afterwards.

Ben Mee then pulled one back for Burnley, but it wasn't enough for the Clarets as they suffered their eighth away defeat in nine games this season.
