Rodri scored a terrific late winner to earn Manchester City victory over battling Sheffield United at Bramall Lane and send the champions top of the Premier League.
Erling Haaland earlier missed a first-half penalty before heading the opener from Jack Grealish's cross just after the hour mark.The win was Pep Guardiola's 200th Premier League win as City manager in just his 269th game, the quickest any boss has reached 200 wins in English top-flight history. This result also marked the first time City have won the first three games of a campaign since the Spaniard's first season as manager in 2016-17.City, with assistant boss Juanma Lillo giving orders, deserved to take all three points after dominating possession and creating the better chances.They had 79% of possession and 30 efforts at goal but were frustrated for much of the game by a stubborn United defence, with captain John Egan and goalkeeper Wes Foderingham impressing.
Bramall Lane erupted when United capitalised on a mistake by former Blades defender Kyle Walker to equalise through Bogle, but City responded almost immediately.
