Maxime Estève Becomes Sixth Player to Score Two Premier League Own Goals in One Match at Man City

Burnley defender Maxime Estève endured a day to forget at the Etihad Stadium, putting the ball into his own net twice against Manchester City. The unfortunate double made him just the sixth player in Premier League history to score two own goals in a single match.

The mishaps came during a challenging away assignment for the Clarets, with City exerting sustained pressure. Estève’s deflections tilted the contest further in the champions’ favor and are likely to be remembered long after the final whistle.

Two own goals in one top-flight game remains one of the league’s rarest and most unwanted distinctions, underlining the defender’s nightmare afternoon. For Burnley, it was a cruel twist on an already demanding evening; for Estève, a test of resilience as he looks to reset quickly.

Burnley will now aim to rally, offering Estève the chance to move past a brutal moment in his Premier League campaign. Manchester City, meanwhile, continue their relentless push at the top after another commanding display at home.
