  "account": "Manchester City signed two high-profile players on transfer deadline day, Enzo Fernandez and Iliman Ndiaye, and both showed promise in their respective Premier League debuts against Coventry City. Fernandez, acquired from Chelsea for £125 million, came on as a substitute after Nico O'Reilly's injury and was given a starting role. Ndiaye, the first Senegalese player to represent City, played from the start and demonstrated his trickery and pace. Manager Enzo Maresca praised Fernandez's understanding of his playing style and Ndiaye's potential, stating that both players have much to learn but have already given a positive impression. The win kept City's perfect start to the season intact, with manager Frank Lampard also expressing high regard for the newly signed English midfielder Elliot Anderson.",
  "summary": "Manchester City gave £185m of deadline-day talent their Premier League debuts in the win over Coventry - and manager Enzo Maresca will have enjoyed what he saw.",
