Haaland Scores Again as Man City Maintains Perfect Start to the Premier League Season
On Saturday, Erling Haaland scored his 300th club career goal, securing a 1-0 win for Manchester City against Coventry City at the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca made a late lineup change after Nico O'Reilly sustained a back injury during warm-ups, forcing record £125m signing Enzo Fernandez into the starting XI.
Coventry City threatened early, with Taiwo Awoniyi missing a clear chance after a defensive giveaway, while goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma narrowly avoided an own goal on a mishandled back pass.
Donnarumma preserved the lead with a sprawling late save against Ellis Simms, ensuring Manchester City held on for victory as Coventry pushed for an equalizer.
Haaland has now scored against 24 of the 25 teams he has faced in the Premier League, with Sunderland remaining the only club yet to concede against the Norwegian.
