Sheff Utd 1-2 Man City: Haaland misses penalty but Rodri nets last-gasp stunner for Citizens at Bramall Lane

Manchester City defeated Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on Sunday to keep their perfect Premier League record intact.

Nathan Aké's opportunistic strike in the 20th minute after Manchester City had the most of possession was disallowed for offside in the build-up. 

Nearing halftime, Erling Haaland had the opportunity to score from the penalty spot after Julián lvarez's cut-back was handled by the falling John Egan. However, the City striker was unable to capitalize. 

Manchester City eventually broke through in the second half. Haaland thundered in a header at the back post after Jack Grealish expertly created some space in the area with a cross.

When Haaland's potential second goal was ruled offside, Sheffield United was granted a reprieve, and they tried to take advantage with their first chance late in the second half. 

Kyle Walker made a crucial mistake in the defense, which allowed Jayden Bogle, a replacement, to score and give Sheffield the equalizer. 

Soon after, Kyle Walker got back up and started helping City respond. He sent a ball into the box that broke beautifully for Rodri to tuck in to make it 2-1.
