Goals from Erling Haaland and Matteo Kovacic helped defending champions Manchester City get their Premier League campaign off with a win. After seeing rivals Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal win over the weekend, the pressure was on Pep Guardiola’s side.

But they need not worry, as former Chelsea Kovacic put in an assured display to help City overcome the big loss of Rodri. Hosts Chelsea didn’t include former Blue Raheem Sterling in their starting lineup as speculation intensified about his future.
