George Boyd's goal gave Burnley a famous win against Manchester City to further damage the champions' hopes of retaining their Premier League title.
Boyd arrowed in a low half-volley after a poor headed clearance from returning City captain Vincent Kompany.
The visitors had wasted chances as Edin Dzeko had a shot saved by Tom Heaton and Sergio Aguero headed just over.
Pablo Zabaleta went to ground late on, but City's appeals for a penalty were rejected by referee Andre Marriner.
Meanwhile Arsenal has closed up the gap to second place with just one point seperating them from Manchester City.
The shock defeat means second-placed City remain five points behind leaders Chelsea, who have two matches in hand.
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho said on Friday the title race was already over and that his team would be celebrating in May.
City responded with a disappointing performance and a result that severely dents their hopes of winning a third title in four years.
They had only won three of their past 10 matches in all competitions before facing a Burnley side with only one victory in their previous 11 games in 2015.
