Man City v Coventry
Match Timeline & Momentum
Commentary
HALF-TIME: MANCHESTER CITY 1-0 COVENTRY CITY
At the end of an eventful, free-flowing first half, there will only be one added minute. Man City start it with a corner; can the hosts stretch their lead?
SHARP SAVE! Rushworth to the rescue again! The goalkeeper stands firm to win his latest one-on-one duel with Man City's star striker, after Haaland is deftly played through by Cherki. That's such a crucial stop just before the break!
Semenyo delivers from the left side this time, and Pinnock's attempted clearance falls straight to Enzo Fernandez. Man City's new record signing can't keep his shot down, though, and it rises high over the crossbar from 20 yards out.
Manchester City have had some 83% of the ball, while taking more than double Coventry's amount of touches in the opposition area. They're also leading 38 to 15 in terms of final-third entries - but their lead remains relatively slender.
Straying forward from midfield, Enzo Fernandez clips a searching ball into the box, but Coventry clear their lines. The hosts probe again before the away side mount a quick counter, but it soon ends when Awoniyi commits a clear foul on Anderson.
