The Enzo Maresca era has started with three consecutive Premier League wins, but it was a far from perfect performance on Saturday as the hosts needed a pair of late saves from Gianluigi Donnarumma to deny Coventry a first top-flight point for 25 years. Haaland's header midway through the first half proved decisive for his third goal in as many games this season. Maresca was able to unleash summer signings Enzo Fernandez and Iliman Ndiaye after their arrivals completed a record outlay by any club of £460 million ($622m) in the transfer market to refresh the City squad after Pep Guardiola's decade in charge. Fernandez was supposed to start on the bench after completing his £125 million move from Chelsea to match the Premier League transfer record. However, an injury to Nico O'Reilly in the warm-up meant the Argentine was thrust into the starting line up. Ndiaye was also handed his City debut by Maresca alongside Haaland, Antoine Semenyo and Rayan Cherki in a fearsome front four.
