‘45: Half-time at the Etihad and Coventry breathe a sigh of relief after withstanding a barrage of pressure.

City lead through a Haaland header but it could easily be 2-1 to Coventry after Donnarumma was lucky to avoid the ball crossing the line with a poor clearance, while Awoniyi missed a fine chance early on too. Still a very open game.

‘44: Haaland gets in behind... Rushworth makes himself massive to make the save, then gets his gloves to it as it drops out of the air! Another line-splitting pass from City, Cherki and Anderson combining lethally there.

‘43: Ndiaye crosses in towards Semenyo with another burst of pace, and Coventry are desperate for the half-time whistle.

Gvardiol pulls it back, looking for Haaland, it’s worked to Fernandez - over the crossbar! Offside anyway.

‘40: Awoniyi darts away but Anderson sticks with him and draws the foul! A very dangerous moment for City but the £116m man keeps his cool and wins the ball.

‘38: Coventry look to break quickly but Dasilva overhits it and it goes out of play.

City get back in behind, Semenyo pulls it back at the byline for Cherki... eventually the offside flag goes up. Another City flurry as we head towards the end of this half.

‘36: Fernandez has had two shots blocked by Coventry defenders in the space of a few seconds. His last goal, England fans may remember, came in the World Cup semi-final.

‘31: That’s a 300th goal in club football for Haaland, by the way, at the age of just 26.

Coventry deal well with a couple of Anderson crosses. Fernandez crosses in, Coventry survive. A very busy spell by City and they’re causing the visitors all sort of problems.

Cherki has a shot blocked from a corner, ultimately Mason-Clark clears the danger on the turn.

A bullet header by Erling Haaland, his second headed goal since he cut his hair off. Maybe it wasn't the source of his powers after all.

‘26: Semenyo crosses in and Haaland fires in the bullet header! Breakthrough for City!

‘24: Haaland chases down Rushworth but the keeper does remarkably well to keep his cool and avoid him.

Now City flood forward in numbers and Cherki, after some fancy footwork hits the woodwork! Nearly three in three for him! Coventry clear the danger and counter.... brilliant long throw by van Ewijk and now Donnarumma saves a header at the back post from Rudoni!
