Match Report

Sheffield United put in a good performance against the champions, showing that they are worthy participants in the Premier League this season.

The hosts conceded a penalty when a handball was given in the first half, with Haaland stepping up from the spot before striking the post from the spot.

He struggled for chances in the first half but made no mistake when Jack Grealish found him in the second half.

Haaland headed past Wes Foderingham, who had denied him just minutes earlier.

The match exploded into life in the last 10 minutes, with substitute Bogle sending Bramall Lane into party mode when he netted an equalised.

But it was not meant to be.

With just two minutes left, Kyle Walker, who was at fault for the goal conceded, flashed a ball across goal.

Phil Foden touched it down before Rodri fired home to win the match.
