Haaland shines as Man City sink Burnley, ex-Benfica man denied | OneFootball

Manchester City, with Bernardo Silva and Rúben Dias, thrashed Burnley, featuring Florentino Luís, 5-1 in the seventh round of the Premier League. In a duel of former Benfica players, victory went to the team coached by Pep Guardiola, with a brilliant performance from Erling Haaland.

The match started well for the Citizens, with Maxime Estève putting the ball into his own net (12’). However, Florentino Luís and company managed to respond and, still in the first half, Jaidon Anthony (38’) leveled the score.

In the second half, Matheus Nunes made it 3-1 from a pass by Haaland (61’), and Maxime Estève scored his second own goal of the match (65’), making Burnley’s task even harder. The inevitable Norwegian striker still scored twice more, already in the final stretch of the game (90’ and 90+3’).

With this result, Manchester City with Rúben Dias and Bernardo Silva – who is unlikely to return to Benfica – is now sixth in the Premier League, with 10 points accumulated, the result of three wins, one draw, and two losses over six matches played.

On the other hand, Burnley – recently promoted to the top tier of English football – and Florentino Luís are in 17th position in the Premier League, with four points from six games: one win, one draw, and four losses, under the management of Scott Parker.
