The scoring campaign was ignited by Erling Haaland, even in the wake of his earlier missed penalty during the first half. He shattered the impasse just past the 60-minute milestone, executing a meticulous header from a Jack Grealish cross.
Sheffield United capitalized on a defensive lapse, leveling the score at 1-1 in the 85th minute. Jayden Bogle seized the opportunity and unleashed a formidable strike past City’s goalkeeper, Ederson.
Nevertheless, the reigning champions, Manchester City, clinched the full three points in the closing moments of the match. Rodri showcased his prowess by releasing a precisely aimed half-volley, propelling the ball into the top corner in the 88th minute. REUTERS”
