Manchester City defeated Sheffield Utd 2-1 at Bramall Lane and remained perfect from the beginning of the new season – 3 victories from 3 clashes.
Erling Haaland had the perfect opportunity to score near the end of the 1st half for City, but he failed to convert a penalty. However, it was he who scored the 1st goal in the match with a header in the 63rd minute after Jack Grealish’s assist.
However, the Blades defender Jayden Bogle shocked the Citizens and tied the match 1-1 in the 85th minute.
