Overview

• City led through an early Maxime Estève own goal, were pegged back by Jaidon Anthony, then pulled away via a Matheus Nunes volley, a second Estève own goal and Erling Haaland's late double.
• Estève became only the sixth player to score two own goals in a single Premier League match, a rarity that heavily shaped the scoreline.
• Haaland finished with a brace and an assist, taking him to a league-best eight goals in six Premier League games as Guardiola called his numbers “insane.”
• Doku drove the hosts’ threat down the left and set up Haaland, earning post-match praise from Guardiola for sharper choices in the final third.
• The result extended City's short-term resurgence after earlier league setbacks, though Burnley’s Scott Parker said 5-1 was harsh, with City on roughly 68% possession and ongoing right-back questions highlighted by Nunes deputising.
