In the central match of the 6th round of the English Premier League, Manchester City took the field in front of their fans and achieved a big victory over Burnley with a score of 5:1. This victory not only brought important three points but also clarified the team's goals in the championship.
The French defender Esteve, among the guests, became the unfortunate hero of the evening for his team by scoring two own goals while trying to repel the attackers from Manchester. This situation once again demonstrated the lack of significant progress in the opponent's defense under the high dominance and pressure of the Citizens.
At the same time, Portugal national team member Mateus Nunez was also fielded in the starting lineup and not only fulfilled his defensive duties but also scored his first goal in the new Premier League season. In his post-match comments, Nunez emphasized that the team's main goal is to fully control each match and avoid giving chances.
According to him, although the first half was very challenging, the team took control of the game in the second half and achieved success. "We need to learn not to concede goals. This was our conclusion from the game against Burnley. The first half was very difficult. However, in the second half, we controlled the course of the game better and succeeded.
This is a very pleasant victory. We are still trying to return to our previous level. For that, we need to fully control the game in every match. We always aim to win, but it is not always easy," said Nunez.
The big win was greatly contributed to by Erling Haaland’s double. The Norwegian striker thus took the lead in the league's scoring chart with a total of eight goals.
Unfortunately, the young Uzbekistani legionnaire Abduqodir Husanov did not take the field in this match due to injury. His participation in upcoming matches remains uncertain.
Meanwhile, the team, after six matches in the Premier League, has collected 10 points and has joined the group of teams fighting for the top positions. Now the Citizens are preparing for the European Champions League matches.
The next competition in the continent's most prestigious tournament will take place on October 1. In it, Manchester City will play an away match against France’s Monaco club. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see whether Husanov will participate in this match.
