Haaland Brace, Two Esteve Own Goals Lift Man City to 5-1 Win Over Burnley

Matheus Nunes, deployed at right-back, swung the contest with a decisive volley.

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.
