Two Maxime Esteve own goals and a late Erling Haaland brace helped Manchester City beat Burnley 5-1 to make it 14 wins in a row over the Clarets.

After all the talk about Kyle Walker’s return to the Etihad Stadium in the build-up to this game it was City’s starting right-back Matheus Nunes who scored their key second goal, rifling in a 61st-minute volley to restore their lead after Jaidon Anthony cancelled out an early opener off Esteve.
