Manchester City needed to call on Sergio Aguero to see off a spirited Sheffield United side 1-0 as Aymeric Laporte made his long-awaited return to action at Bramall Lane. The on-loan Manchester United goalkeeper saved a 36th-minute penalty from Gabriel Jesus and saved well to deny Raheem Sterling and Nicolas Otamendi, before substitute Aguero scored in the 73rd minute to give City victory. He picked out Sterling in the penalty area but his effort was brilliantly saved by Henderson, flinging himself to his right. However, Henderson saved Jesus’ penalty, diving to his right to beat away the ball. City went straight down the other end and scored.
