Saka and Vieira moved the ball smoothly across the field to leave Trossard one on one with Lewis on the left side of the area. The last man Gabriel has a few yards on Haaland, who shows frightening speed to get to the ball first on the edge of the area. De Bruyne cuts inside from the right, 25 yards from goal, and shapes a delicious left-footed curler that flashes just wide of the far post. Trossard surges down the left and arrows a cross to the near post, where Nketiah gets across Akanji but volleys wide from six yards. Nothing in the transfer window so far allays my fear of relegation, Dyche is a nice guy but his hiring is a bit of a damp squib. De Bruyne plays a through pass to Haaland, who is sandwiched by Tomiyasu and Saliba in the area. He lobs it over Turner and a few yards wide of the right-hand post. Kevin De Bruyne almost scored a peach for City, but there was no rhythm in their play and Erling Haaland spent most of the half having a wrestling match with Rob Holding. He tries to hook the ball across goal from a tight angle but screws it into the side netting. He is shaping to shoot – and almost certainly score – when Laporte stretches to poke the ball behind for a corner. He had the time to take a touch there. Ake had to shoot first time, with Saliba coming to meet him, and he gently passed the ball into the far corner with his right foot.
