Manchester City beat visitors Coventry City 1-0 this Saturday afternoon in the third round of the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium.
Enzo Maresca's side owe the win to their top scorer, Norway's Erling Haaland, who headed home in the 26th minute.
Antoine Semenyo whipped in a precise cross from the right flank, and the Norwegian rose at the far post to power it into the net.
Coventry nearly grabbed an early lead through Tatsuhiro Onoe in the 8th minute, but his shot from a one-on-one drifted past the left post of City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. The Italian had survived a scare moments earlier in the 6th minute, when the ball almost slipped behind him into the net.
