Manchester City secured a 2-1 victory against Sheffield United on Sunday, with Rodri scoring a late winner in the 88th minute. This win places City at the top of the Premier League table, having won all three matches played so far this season. Despite missing a first-half penalty, Erling Haaland redeemed himself by opening the scoring in the second half with a close-range header. However, Sheffield United equalized in the 85th minute, taking advantage of a defensive error from Kyle Walker. City quickly regained their lead though, as Rodri powered a half-volley into the top corner.
Under the guidance of assistant manager Juanma Lillo, who was standing in for Pep Guardiola following his back surgery, Manchester City demonstrated their ability to win even without their full capabilities on display. With a squad that has seemingly strengthened despite some key departures, City showcased their dominance and continued their perfect start to the season. They now sit at the top of the table with nine points, two points ahead of West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Arsenal.
City's convincing performance against Sheffield United raises the question: Can they maintain their flawless record in the coming matches? Only time will tell if Manchester City can continue their winning streak and assert themselves as the team to beat in the Premier League.
