"Manchester City returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a 4-1 win over Burnley that owed much to the misfortune of Maxime Esteve. City were left to settle for a 1-1 draw with Arsenal last Sunday as they conceded a 93rd-minute equaliser at Emirates Stadium after an atypical rearguard action from Pep Guardiola's side. After progressing in the EFL Cup in midweek, City needed only 12 minutes to take the lead against Burnley, who fell behind through Esteve's 12th-minute own goal."
"Esteve became only the sixth player to score two goals in the same Premier League, following Wolves' Craig Dawson against Everton in December last year, and a more conventional brace from Erling Haaland saw City ultimately claim the three points in fine style. City move up to fifth in the Premier League, five points behind leaders Liverpool after the defending champions suffered their first defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace."
Manchester City returned to winning ways with a 4-1 Premier League victory over Burnley dominated by Maxime Esteve's misfortune. City opened the scoring after 12 minutes when Esteve turned Jeremy Doku's rebound into his own net. Jaidon Anthony equalised for Burnley seven minutes before half-time, but Matheus Nunes struck a volley and Esteve prodded another own goal to restore City's lead. Erling Haaland added a conventional brace to round out the scoring and secure the three points. The result moved City to fifth in the table, five points behind leaders Liverpool after Crystal Palace defeated them.
