"Hosts City took the lead after just 12 minutes when Jeremy Doku's low shot at the near-post was parried by Martin Dubravka, only for Esteve to deflect haphazardly into his own net as he tried to reach the rebound before an onrushing Phil Foden. Pep Guardiola's side dominated possession but struggled to create many clear-cut chances, allowing Jaidon Anthony to draw level with a close-range finish that deflected off Ruben Dias seven minutes before the interval."
"City came out sharper after the break, regaining their lead as Haaland teed up Matheus Nunes for a crashing volley with a smart header on the hour mark. Esteve then turned into his own net once more just four minutes later, this time from a low Nunes cross chased by Oscar Bobb. Haaland then ran riot over the Clarets' fatigued defence with two close-range finishes in the space of three stoppage-time minutes to seal a comfortable win for the Citizens."
Manchester City defeated Burnley 5-1 at the Etihad Stadium with two own goals from Maxime Esteve and a stoppage-time brace from Erling Haaland. Jeremy Doku's early shot forced the first own goal after a Dubravka parry, while Jaidon Anthony briefly equalised via a deflected close-range finish. Matheus Nunes restored City's lead with a volley set up by Haaland, and a low Nunes cross led to Esteve's second own goal. Haaland scored twice in stoppage time, moving to 93 Premier League goals and giving City a fourth-place position on 10 points.
