Haaland header maintains perfect winning start for Man City
Manchester City highlighted their early season credentials by maintaining their 100% winning record after three Premier League games, but had to cling on to leave newly promoted Coventry still searching for their first point of the campaign.
Manchester City maintained their 100% winning record in the Premier League after three games, beating newly promoted Coventry 1-0. Erling Haaland scored the only goal of the game, heading home from a cross by Antoine Semenyo after being fed by Enzo Fernandez.
The win came courtesy of a spirited challenge from Coventry, with the home side clinging on to secure the victory. Manchester City's new manager, Enzo Maresca, praised his team's performance, saying they dealt well with Coventry's low block and worked together to win.
Manchester City's perfect start to the season keeps them top of the table ahead of next week's Manchester derby at Old Trafford. Coventry, meanwhile, are still searching for their first point of the campaign.
