Rodri was the hero with his late strike maintaining Manchester City’s perfect start to the Premier League season. Erling Haaland, who missed a first-half penalty, put the reigning champions ahead just after the hour mark, though Sheffield United looked like they had snatched a point when substitute Jayden Bogle equalised five minutes from time. But there was to be another twist just three minutes later, when Rodri fired a wonderful first-time shot into the top-left corner to ensure victory.

CHANCE! Ahmedhodzic should do better! The centre-half is the furthest player forward for United, who go straight down the other end in search of the equaliser. McBurnie sends a wonderful cross to the far post, where the defender is unable to volley home from inside the six-yard box.
