SHEFFIELD, England – Manchester City has ascended to the zenith of the Premier League rankings following a hard-fought 2-1 triumph over Sheffield United on Sunday. Rodri emerged as the protagonist, delivering a late-game decider that cemented City’s third conquest of the season.
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”
