On the evening of September 27, Maxime Esteve scored two own goals in Burnley's 1-5 loss to Man City in round 6 of the Premier League.

Maxime Esteve's first own goal came in the 12th minute. The Frenchman was on the run trying to clear the ball but unfortunately sent it into his own net.

Maxime Esteve completed his double own goal in the 65th minute when he tried to block Matheus Nunes' cross. The ball bounced off his foot and went straight into the net.

With two own goals, Maxime Esteve made Premier League history by becoming only the second player to score two own goals in one match.

The first person in history to "do" the same thing was former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher. He scored two own goals in Liverpool's 2-3 loss to Man United in the 1999-2000 Premier League season.

This "achievement" will not be "caught up" until the 2025-2026 season.

In addition to Maxime Esteve's accident, this match also witnessed the brilliance of striker Erling Haaland when he scored two goals and contributed an assist, helping Man City win big.
