Manchester City scrambled a 1-0 Premier League victory over promoted Coventry City on Saturday that maintained their 100% record but showed Enzo Maresca's side are a work in progress after completing their £450-million ($608.45-million) rebuild, Reuters reported.
A third successive win was sealed in familiar fashion by Erling Haaland, with a little help from British-record-equalling signing Enzo Fernandez on his debut but City were made to sweat by a Coventry side still seeking a first point.
Crystal Palace earned their first league victory of the campaign as they twice came from a goal down to prevail 3-2 at Fulham, while four other games ended all square, according to Reuters.
