With superior class, it was not difficult for Man City to take 3 points against Sheffield United with a gentle 2-0 victory.
After returning from the FIFA Club World Cup, Man City played very determinedly. In the most recent match, even though they were ahead by Everton, they still calmly came back with a score of 3-1.
Sheffield United players are at a much lower level than their opponents and only know how to defend.
Man City did not take long to break the deadlock in the match. Midfielder Rodri with a long shot did not give goalkeeper Wesley Foderingham a chance to block it. 1-0 for Man City in the 14th minute.
After that, the blue shirt players continuously bombarded the away team’s goal.
They exploited Sheffield United’s armpits very strongly.
At the beginning of the second half, realizing that Jack Grealish was not working effectively, Pep Guardiola withdrew this player from the field.
In the 61st minute, Phil Foden had a cross to set up Julián Álvarez to score.
That was a situation where the away team’s defense was almost powerless to mark Foden and the goal came to Alvarez as a matter of course.
Sheffield United’s defense takes too much effort to track a player like Foden.
