Erling Haaland’s header separated Manchester City from promoted Coventry in a narrow 1-0 win at the Etihad. The result gave City three victories from three matches and left them top of the Premier League with nine points. Coventry remained without a point at the bottom.
City struggled to break down Coventry’s defence despite their expensive squad. Rayan Cherki hit the post, while Coventry created several chances to level. Gianluigi Donnarumma denied Jack Rudoni’s header and later saved efforts from substitutes Loum Tchaouna and Ellis Simms.
The decisive goal came midway through the first half. Winger Antoine Semenyo sent the ball directly onto Haaland’s head, and the striker finished to make it 1-0.
City also handed debuts to Enzo Fernandez, signed from Chelsea, and Iliman Ndiaye, who joined from Everton. Ndiaye left the field with an injury late in the match. Danish midfielder Victor Torp did not play for Coventry.
