Manchester City Wins Against Sheffield United

Manchester City Wins Against Sheffield United

"Manchester City" ended a run of three consecutive draws at home in the English Premier League with a comfortable 2-0 victory over their visitors "Sheffield United," who are at the bottom of the standings, today Saturday. A goal in each half from Rodri and Julián Álvarez reflected City's dominance in the match, as they held 84% possession. Phil Foden sent a pass to Rodri to open the scoring with a low shot in the 14th minute. The English midfielder also played a significant role in City's second goal an hour into the match, following Álvarez's pass to net the ball from close range. City, who hadn't won a league match at home since early November, did not have to exert themselves much as Sheffield United defended deeply to avoid a heavier loss. While the three points were welcomed by the defending champions, the better news for City was the appearance of Kevin De Bruyne on the bench after being absent since the opening match of the season. Manchester City now has 40 points from 19 matches, trailing two points behind league leaders Liverpool. In reality, the win over Sheffield United was easy, but after a shaky performance, it seems City has returned to its usual form as the second half of the season begins.
