Haaland created that.

Beautiful floated ball over.

Oh dear.

Don’t deserve that

Does Esteve have to deal with Haaland? I know Haarman is there, but he isn't going to win it, is he?

Inchy · Post by **Inchy** » Sat Sep 27, 2025 4:23 pm

He pushes Ekdal before smashing it in. I’m not suggesting it was a free kick……it wasn’t. But I bet if that was a Burnley goal there
Would be a VAR check

Come on Burnley Come on Burnley Come on Burnley

Bruun Larsen for Tchaouna

Anthony booked

Den_Perry · Post by **Den_Perry** » Sat Sep 27, 2025 4:25 pm

Clever little push on Ekdal by Nunez to create that bit of space for when the header came back in from Haaland. Keep on going and who knows we could get back level…playing well to be fair

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Sat Sep 27, 2025 4:26 pm

Here we go.

Brilliant goal and its G.O.

cockneyclaret · Post by **cockneyclaret** » Sat Sep 27, 2025 4:26 pm

Oh well.. let's hope they don't get there usual 5

whiffa · Post by **whiffa** » Sat Sep 27, 2025 4:26 pm

Two own goals for Steve, so unlucky.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Sep 27, 2025 4:27 pm

Esteve own goal again!!!

KernowHouseClaret · Post by **KernowHouseClaret** » Sat Sep 27, 2025 4:27 pm

We may be losing 3-1, but we've played really well, lots of positives. However 2og's for Esteve is so cruel

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Sat Sep 27, 2025 4:27 pm

Classed as a Steve OG.

fidelcastro · Post by **fidelcastro** » Sat Sep 27, 2025 4:27 pm

Two own goals from Esteve?

Not sure I've seen that from a Burnley player before.

Taffy on the wing · Post by **Taffy on the wing** » Sat Sep 27, 2025 4:27 pm

2nd og for Esteve.....unstoppable move though.

Casper2 · Post by **Casper2** » Sat Sep 27, 2025 4:28 pm

That’s shocking from Esteve

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Sep 27, 2025 4:28 pm

Corner us

fidelcastro · Post by **fidelcastro** » Sat Sep 27, 2025 4:29 pm

It could still be the usual five goals yet.

I hate it when we play City!

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Sep 27, 2025 4:31 pm

Haaland heads wide

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Sat Sep 27, 2025 4:31 pm

This is now the situation where we need Tresor on the bench for that explosive unpredictability when risks are needed.

I can see the rest grabbing 1 goal, not more. Edwards to a lesser degree than Tresor, proper pedigree so he should get a run at them too, even if he isn’t the best defensively.

Game over?

Another own goal from Maxime Esteve.

There's nothing the Burnley defender can do again. He attempts to block Oscar Bobb's shot but it deflects into the corner.

Manchester City in the driving seat.

rosswallacefreekick · Post by **rosswallacefreekick** » Sat Sep 27, 2025 4:32 pm

Oh well — we did well to equalise. I never expect anything from City. Time to sub a few on to get some minutes into them?

Laurents knackered , changes needed

ollieclarets8 · Post by **ollieclarets8** » Sat Sep 27, 2025 4:33 pm

Just checked stats - they have had just 3 shots on target and scored all 3, with an xG of only 1.19.

When we normally played them they had a lot more of both of those.

Looked like a pen. Are VAR going to get involved?

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Sat Sep 27, 2025 4:40 pm

Do you think that City will be proud of their days work ?

Must be very hollow for both players and fans. No sense of achievement, no pride and no surprise.

Wouldn't really entice me.

Cullen off Broja in

Ugo and Broja for Cullen & Foster.

Nothing to lose, I suppose. Let's see what these 2 Chelski products have!

It’s a penalty for me. If he’d gone down instead of getting his shot away it would’ve been given. It’s still a foul and should’ve been given. These decisions don’t help in encouraging players to stay on their feet.
