save file in local machine which was generate in remote machine?

test.yml

---
- hosts: webservers
  remote_user: username
  tasks:
    - name: Execute the script
      command: sh /home/username/top.sh

top.sh

#!/bin/bash
top > system.txt

I run test.yml in local machine, it will run the shell script in remote machine and save the command in system.txt file.

location of top.sh: remote, location of system.txt: remote

But I am looking for

location of top.sh: local (but I need to run this command in remote), location of system.txt: local

How to achieve this?

You can use the synchronize module to copy files from local to remote or from remote to local host. For example 

- name: 'Copy run.sh to remote machine'
  synchronize:
    mode: push
    src: top.sh
    dest: /home/username

- name: Execute the script
  command: sh /home/username/top.sh

- name: 'Copy system.txt to local machine'
  synchronize:
    mode: pull
    src: /home/username/system.txt
    dest: .

Note: for the synchronize module to work you will need to have rsync installed on the hosts.
