Esteve's own goals, Haaland's brace propel City as Liverpool, Chelsea and Utd falter on dramatic day

Two own goals by Maxime Esteve ended Burnley's hopes of fighting back as Manchester City cruised to a 5-1 Premier League win on Saturday, with Erling Haaland scoring a late brace.

City's third win in the campaign took them to 10 points from six matches, reducing the gap with champions Liverpool to five points.

City took an early lead when Burnley keeper Martin Dubravka palmed away Jeremy Doku's shot but it rebounded towards Phil Foden, and Esteve's hurried attempt to clear the danger went into the net instead.

City dominated possession and subdued the Burnley attack, with the visitors unable to make an attempt to score until the 23rd minute, when Kyle Walker tried his luck with a long shot.

Dubravka deflected Nico Gonzalez's shot for a corner and punched away Foden's free kick to keep Burnley in the game, as a dominant City looked to double their lead.

But Burnley's very first shot on target found the equaliser in the 38th minute, when Jaidon Anthony played a one-two with Quilindschy Hartman and fired with his left foot inside the box. The ball took a deflection off Ruben Dias and hopped into the net.
