MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) -Two own goals by Maxime Esteve ended Burnley's hopes of fighting back as Manchester City cruised to a 5-1 Premier League win on Saturday, with Erling Haaland scoring a late brace.
City took an early lead when Burnley keeper Martin Dubravka palmed away Jeremy Doku's shot but it rebounded towards Phil Foden, and Esteve's hurried attempt to clear the danger went into the net instead.
Burnley equalised in the 38th minute from their first shot on target, when Jaidon Anthony's shot took a deflection off Ruben Dias and went in. City regained the lead after the hour mark when Haaland's header set up a close-range finish by Matheus Nunes.
Esteve's second own goal came four minutes later, with Oscar Bobb's shot hitting the French defender before going in near the far post. Haaland sealed the win for City with late strikes in the 90th and 93rd minutes.
