Same old story at the Etihad: Burnley turn up, Man City turn it into a training drill. Pep Guardiola’s men brushed the Clarets aside yet again, making it 14 straight wins in this fixture. Haaland, of course, grabbed the headlines with a ruthless hat-trick — as if defenders hadn’t learned their lesson already. Burnley gave a bit of fight early on, but between Estève’s horror own goals and City’s relentless pressure, this clash was never really in doubt.
Matchday Talking Points
- 14 Straight vs Burnley – City have now won 14 in a row against Burnley in all competitions, their joint-fourth longest winning streak against any club.
- Leaky Clarets – Burnley have already conceded 10 goals in three away games this season, more than their entire road tally in the Championship last year (8).
- Esteve’s Nightmare – Maxime Estève became only the sixth player in Premier League history to score two own goals in a single game. Brutal luck.
