Sheffield United – Manchester City 1-2, in the third stage of the Premier League

City went on the attack, but despite 80% possession, the final score was far worse than expected.

Ake scored in the 20th minute, but his goal was ruled out for offside.

In the 37th minute, Haaland had a chance to open the scoring, but his shot from 11 meters hit the side post.

But in the 63rd minute, the Norwegian striker headed home from Grealish’s cross.

The ending was incendiary. Sheffield United equalized in the 85th minute through Bogle, but just three minutes later Rodri sealed the victory for the city with a shot under the crossbar from inside the penalty area.

At the beginning of the season, “Manchester City” wins in three games and is the clear leader of the Premier League.
