Pep Guardiola's absence did not hinder Manchester City as they battled to victory at Sheffield United to maintain their perfect Premier League start.
But City still displayed the kind of resilience that has seen them win 15 trophies in seven years under the Spaniard's leadership, including last season's Treble.
It was also Guardiola's 200th Premier League win as City boss in just his 269th game, the quickest any manager has reached that landmark in the English top flight."He was speaking to the technical staff at times and also to me, but all I had to do was move one seat along. He was always there. Erling Haaland, who missed a first-half penalty, finally broke the deadlock with a 63rd-minute header, but City failed to get a crucial second to kill the game off.
