Overview
- City were pegged back before half-time by Jaidon Anthony, then Nunes restored the lead on 61 minutes and his low cross moments later was turned in by Maxime Estève for a second own goal.
- Erling Haaland struck twice late on, taking him to eight Premier League goals in six matches and to 133 overall for Manchester City.
- Estève’s brace of own goals made him only the sixth player to score two in the same Premier League game.
- Jeremy Doku was a constant threat down the left, forcing the early own goal and later setting up Haaland’s first.
- The result returned City to winning ways after the Arsenal draw, moved them up to fifth in the table, and still highlighted defensive lapses as Burnley briefly threatened at 1-1.
