The match at Etihad, part of the 6th round of the English Premier League, ended with a real goal shower. Pep Guardiola's side secured a hard-fought 5-1 victory over Burnley away at home.
The Citizens gained the upper hand in the first half of the match. Opponent defender Esteve scored an own goal in the 12th minute, opening the scoring.
Despite finding a path to the opponent's goal in the first half, Manchester City didn't stop. Nunesh's accurate shot in the 61st minute extended the lead. Furthermore, Esteve, who had shown an unsuccessful performance that day, conceded another own goal in the 65th minute, extending the lead.
The most striking moments of the debate occurred in the final part. Team leader Erling Haaland, demonstrating his skill, scored twice against the opponent and scored a brace.
Burnley's only goal was scored by Anthony in the 38th minute. However, this did not affect the result. The 5-1 victory further solidified Manchester City's high standing in the competition.
