In the sixth round of the English Premier League, Manchester City hosted Burnley at home and, as fans expected, secured a resounding victory. Pep Guardiola's side secured the crucial three points by defeating their opponents 5-1.
The Mancunians took the initiative in the first half of the match. But the key to victory came from an unexpected source - the visitors' defender Esteve. The French footballer made two mistakes in deflecting attacks, sending the ball into his own net, and became an assistant thanks to a large margin for the "citizens."
Another City goal was scored by Mateusz Nunes. The main character of the show was Erling Haaland. The Norwegian striker scored a brace in the final part of the match, taking the lead in the league's top scorer race with eight goals.
This debate had historical significance for Haaland. The 25-year-old striker has now reached 93 goals in the Premier League. Only 103 matches were enough for him to achieve such a result.
Thus, Haaland became the top scorer in the English Premier League among players from cold-climate Norway. The previous record belonged to Manchester United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who scored 91 goals in 235 matches.
For Manchester fans, this victory was memorable not only for the points but also for Haaland's new record. Now the team is expected to continue similar productive matches in the following rounds.
