Pep Guardiola‘s men maintained our 100% start in dramatic circumstances.
City dominated proceedings in Sheffield, registering 30 shots on the hosts’ goal and 80% possession across the 90 minutes, but were frustrated by the Blades.
Erling Haaland struck the post from the penalty spot in a frustrating first half for the Premier League champions but, after some goalkeeping heroics from Wes Foderingham, the Norwegian would break the deadlock with a close-range header just after the hour.
It looked like we’d have to settle for a share of the points though when substitute Jayden Bogle found the bottom corner with a clinical low finish in the 85th minute.
But Rodrigo, often City’s man for the big occasion, stepped up once again when it mattered, with his sublime first time volley finding the top corner of the Sheffield United net as stoppage time approached to secure the win.
It means Pep Guardiola‘s men sit top of the Premier League table, and are the only side yet to drop points this season.
