Manchester City Closes Gap on Liverpool with Victory over Sheffield United

Rodri and Julian Alvarez Score in 2-0 Win as Kevin De Bruyne Returns to Bench

Manchester City beat Sheffield United 2-0, moving within two points of English Premier League leader Liverpool.
Goals from Rodri and Julian Alvarez secured the win for the defending champions against the bottom-placed team.
Kevin De Bruyne, who has not played for City since August due to a hamstring injury, was on the bench for the first time since the setback.
Phil Foden stood out in the match, assisting both goals and showing his potential in a central position.
City ended 2023 with back-to-back league wins after returning from Saudi Arabia and success in the Club World Cup last week.
