Meanwhile Luton Town are making their first appearance in the Premier League, having risen from non-league in an incredible decade of progress. They followed Championship winners Burnley and second-placed Sheffield United in earning promotion to the top flight.

Rodri was the hero with his late strike maintaining Manchester City's perfect start to the Premier League season. Erling Haaland, who missed a first-half penalty, put the reigning champions ahead just after the hour mark, though Sheffield United looked like they had snatched a point when substitute Jayden Bogle equalised five minutes from time. But there was to be another twist just three minutes later, when Rodri fired a wonderful first-time shot into the top-left corner to ensure victory.

OVER! It is end-to-end stuff as we enter the second of seven additional minutes. The ball is laid ball for Larouci, who shoots from a tight angle, but his effort is over. It may have been wiser to seek out a team-mate from there.

CHANCE! Ahmedhodzic should do better! The centre-half is the furthest player forward for United, who go straight down the other end in search of the equaliser. McBurnie sends a wonderful cross to the far post, where the defender is unable to volley home from inside the six-yard box.

CHANCE! City look to respond immediately and Foden tees up Alvarez, who sweeps the ball just too high.
