Commentary

It's maximum points again for Manchester City, who make it nine from a possible nine to start the new Premier League season by beating Coventry City 1-0. Once again, Haaland is the hero, netting his 300th career goal with a powerful header from Semenyo's precise cross. Despite dominating for much of the match, the hosts ultimately had to hang on to their slim lead in the closing stages, with Donnarumma pulling off two crucial saves, though Haaland could also have had a hat-trick but for some sharp stops by Rushworth. Man City's new signings Ndiaye and Enzo Fernandez both started - the latter as an emergency replacement for O'Reilly, who was injured just before kick-off - and they linked up well with key creator Cherki, who struck the post as his team created 1.81 xG; thanks to their late revival, Coventry posted 1.21 by full-time. However, that was not enough for the Sky Blues to avoid losing their first three league games without scoring - something that has never happened before. Surely encouraged by their second-half performance - in which Simms almost snatched a late leveller - they'll look to get off the mark again next weekend versus Brighton. Meanwhile, Man City must now prepare for their Champions League opener on Tuesday, as they travel to Porto before next week's Manchester derby. That's all from the Etihad, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!

90'+6'

FULL-TIME: MANCHESTER CITY 1-0 COVENTRY CITY

90'+5'Manchester CityYellow Card

For delaying the restart by kicking the ball away, Khusanov receives a yellow card deep into stoppage time.

90'+4'

After Thomas tries his luck with a long-range volley, which is deflected behind for a corner, Tchaouna delivers another set-piece. However, Thomas is then caught offside and Man City can kill more precious time.

90'+2'Coventry CityYellow Card

In the second minute of at least five added for stoppages, Pinnock clips the fresh-legged McAidoo and has to accept a late yellow card.

90'+1'

Following another Coventry corner, first Guehi and then Haaland make clearing headers. Given their dominance in the first hour, few would've forseen how much Man City have had to defend.
