In the sixth round of the English Premier League, Manchester City hosted Burnley and won by a large margin as fans expected. Pep Guardiola's pupils defeated the opponent 5-1, securing important three points.
From the very beginning of the match, the Mancunians took the initiative. But the key to victory came from an unexpected source – the guest defender Esteve. The French player made two mistakes in defense, sending the ball into his own net twice and becoming an "assistant" to the Citizens' large score.
Mateusz Nunes scored another goal for City. The main hero of the show was Erling Haaland. The Norwegian striker recorded a double in the final part of the match, taking the lead in the league top scorers race with eight goals.
This match was historically significant for Haaland. Because the 25-year-old striker increased his total number of goals in the EPL to 93. It took him only 103 matches to achieve this result.
Thus, Haaland became the player from cold-climate Norway who has scored the most goals in the English championship. The previous record belonged to Manchester United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who scored 91 goals in 235 matches.
For the Manchester fans, this victory was memorable not only for the points but also because of Haaland's new record. Now the team is expected to continue similar effective performances in the upcoming rounds.
