  • Manchester City beat newly promoted Coventry through Erling Haaland’s goal and have won all three of their Premier League matches.
  • New signing Enzo Fernandez helped create the first-half goal, which Haaland headed in for his third of the season.
  • Nottingham Forest held Tottenham to a goalless draw, while City look ahead to next week’s Manchester derby.

Manchester City remain perfect in the Premier League, but their latest win was anything but smooth. A spirited Coventry side created chances before Erling Haaland settled the match with a first-half header.

Enzo Fernandez played a central role in the goal, feeding Antoine Semenyo, whose cross found Haaland. The striker’s finish was his third of the season and kept City at the top of the table after three matches.

The victory came during a period of major change at the Etihad. Enzo Maresca has taken charge following Pep Guardiola’s emotional departure, while the playing squad has also undergone significant turnover.

ugly moments

· Enzo MarescaThe Manchester City manager said teams need difficult periods as well as flowing football.

Maresca said teams need to endure “ugly moments” as well as produce flowing football. “I really liked today for different reasons,” he told the BBC, adding that City could have scored one or two more in the first half.

Tottenham, meanwhile, could not find a breakthrough at Nottingham Forest. The sides finished 0-0, leaving City to turn their attention to next week’s derby against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
