MANCHESTER CITY full-back Kyle Walker scored the winner against his former club as Sheffield United’s winless start to the season continued.
Pep Guardiola, who had suffered his worst five-game start to a season after taking just eight points, saw his team’s domestic frustrations alleviated by Sheffield-born Walker’s 28th-minute strike at Bramall Lane.
City, buoyed by Tuesday’s 3-0 Champions League win in Marseille, were on top from the outset and only a fine display from Aaron Ramsdale limited the damage.

Ferran Torres’ glancing header from Joao Cancelo’s cross forced a fine early stop from Ramsdale, who also saw Aymeric Laporte steer a close-range effort just past his near post.
