Erling Haaland scored but had a rare off day in front of goal, missing a penalty and numerous chances
The danger was only partially cleared and Vinícius Souza came crashing in to make the tackle from which the ball flew out to Bogle, the substitute, on the right edge of City’s area. He was allowed time to control both the ball and himself before cracking it past Ederson – and Oli McBurnie, deemed not to be interfering with the goalkeeper’s sightline – into the far corner. Cue absolute bedlam at Bramall Lane as United sensed they could gain an unlikely first point of the season.
This opportunity came eight minutes before half-time. Julián Álvarez, running onto Jack Grealish’s pass down the left channel inside the area, chipped a cross that hit the arm of John Egan as the United captain charged down in a bid to block. Haaland however crashed his left-footed show against the inside of the post as Wes Foderingham dived the other way.
They were game, well organised and had a plan to break on the counter through a front pairing of Traoré and Will Osula. But it was after they went behind midway through the second half that the shackles came off. Gustavo Hamer, with a ferocious shot blocked, and then Anel Almedhodzic, firing just over after Ederson punched clear, mustered their first efforts at goal. McBurnie then headed wide a corner from Olly Norwood.
