Rodri stunner sees Manchester City sink spirited Sheffield United

Manchester City maintained their flawless beginning to the 2023-24 Premier League season by securing a hard-fought 2-1 victory against a determined Sheffield United team at Bramall Lane.

The triumphant team, which had already claimed three major titles, faced a challenging first half, highlighted by a rare penalty miss from Erling Haaland. However, the top goal scorer quickly transformed from a struggling player to a hero, breaking the deadlock in the second half.

Nonetheless, Jayden Bogle managed to equalize for Sheffield United, setting the stage for a tense conclusion. In the final moments of the game, Rodri unleashed an impressive shot into the top corner, preserving Manchester City’s flawless record. Despite their commendable efforts, Sheffield United left the tumultuous match empty-handed.

Pep Guardiola, the head coach of the Citizens, was absent due to his ongoing recovery from back surgery. Another significant absence for Man City at Bramall Lane was Phil Foden, who had shone in the previous match against Newcastle United. Foden found himself on the sidelines as Bernardo Silva returned to action.
