With or without Guardiola on the bench, Man.City remains a winning team, after all, even Marseca has a super team at its disposal. With 9 full points in the first 3 weeks, the "citizens" immediately take the lead in the Premier League, but they faced Lampard's Coventry quite difficult, at a time when they triumphed with the minimum score of 1-0.

At the Etihad, as expected, Man.City had total control of the game, they developed a suffocating pressure in the visitors' area, but were unlucky, where a shot by Cherki hit the crossbar. After several attempts, in the 26th minute, Man.City found the advantage goal, where Haaland with a precise header shook the net.

Enzo Marseca's team did not slow down for a minute, but neither Haaland nor the rest of the offensive phase managed to close the match. In the end, they were very lucky, as they encountered an intervention from Donnarumma to keep the three-pointer in the game. In this match, the three sensational purchases of this summer's transfer window, Enzo Fernandez, Ndiaye and Bouaddi, also debuted.

After the match, Enzo Maresca is happy with the three points despite the fact that the fans were expecting something more: "I really liked this challenge, for several reasons. In the first half we could have scored 2 or 3 more goals, but we all worked together to win this match. In 9 out of 10 cases these meetings end with surprises. The important thing is that we won" , said Maresca.
