On the evening of August 27, Man City will visit Sheffield United at Bramall Lane in round 3 of the English Premier League.
Man City had a hard-fought victory over Premier League newcomer Sheffield United.
Despite the absence of De Bruyne and coach Pep Guardiola due to health problems, the rest of Man City is still too strong for the newly promoted opponent.
Therefore, it was not surprising that the away team took complete control after the opening whistle.
But when Sheffield United retreated their entire squad to their home field to protect their goal, Haaland and his teammates had difficulty finding goals.
The best chance the defending champion had was a penalty in the 35th minute.
Unfortunately, on the 11m mark, Haaland hit the post.
After the break, Man City continued to attack diligently but it was not until the 63rd minute that they broke the deadlock.
Starting from Jack Grealish's cross, Haaland headed the ball close to open the score.
It was thought that this goal would help Man City play more enthusiastically, but difficulties suddenly came to the away team.
In the 85th minute, Jayden Bogle's shot hit Kyle Walker's leg, leaving goalkeeper Ederson helpless.
Fortunately, just 3 minutes later, Rodri scored to seal a hard-fought victory for the home team at Etihad Stadium.
Another giant, Liverpool, also had many difficulties when facing Newcastle.
The Kop conceded in the 25th minute and were then left with a man down after van Dijk received a red card.
During the remaining time, Liverpool played with great effort and scored 2 goals at the end of the match thanks to Nunez, thereby defeating their opponent 2-1.
