Rodri scored a late winner to help Manchester City to a 2-1 win over newly-promoted Sheffield United on Sunday which move them to the top of the Premier League log, Sportivationng.com reports.
Erling Haaland, who missed a first-half penalty, opened the scoring for City just past the hour mark with a close-range header from a cross by Jack Grealish.
Jayden Bogle made it 1-1 in the 85th minute when the hosts capitalised on a defensive error and he fired a shot past City keeper Ederson.
