City made it three wins out of three in the Premier League with a hard-fought victory over Coventry City.
Erling Haaland got the only goal of the game as he powered home a header from Antoine Semenyo’s cross.
New signing Enzo Fernández had a big part in the build-up to the goal as he and Iliman Ndiaye impressed on their debuts.
Rayan Cherki had gone close earlier with a low strike that thundered back off the inside of the post.
Haaland also had more opportunities while Gianluigi Donnarumma made a couple of fine saves to keep out the visitors on their first ever visit to the Etihad.
