That is all for the Liveblog, check the main site for more post-match coverage and we’ll see you tomorrow for Atalanta vs. Arsenal.
Erling Haaland had 9 goals in 4 Premier League games this season, but he barely got a sniff against Inter.
In fact, he got 14 touches. In the entire game. 14.
Inter will take that. They could’ve taken more, could’ve taken less.
Ooof! Doku cross stood up from the right, Gundogan diving header is over the bar from six yards!
Pep Guardiola's reaction says it all…

It’s all City now, Inter hanging on. Another corner with the Carlos Augusto block on Doku. Lautaro Martinez nods it clear.
Into 4 minutes of stoppages.
That is a big chance too! Gvardiol cross into the box, Acerbi mistimed the jump and allowed Gundogan a free header, but it’s so central and Sommer plucks it out of the air!
Foden rather rushed the finish from a Doku pass, it bounced into the arms of Sommer.
Rodri from distance, but it’s well wide.
Counter-attack for Inter, pass a little overhit for Lautaro Martinez, who ends up with a curler relatively easy for Ederson.
Calhanoglu makes way for Frattesi.
Doku on, Bernardo Silva off for City.
Gvardiol scorcher from the edge of the area, Sommer gets both gloves behind it!
That familiar sound is the Inter fans chanting much louder than the honestly rather quiet City supporters.
Barella sends Dumfries down the right, low cross is beyond Taremi, but Mkhitaryan fires it over the bar from 12 yards!
Darmian and Bisseck off, Dumfries and Pavard on for Inter.
Not sure how Barella avoided a card for that late one on Grealish…
Another City attack with Foden’s dribble through the centre, but Acerbi makes the decisive block in the box.
Grealish might’ve been offside in the build-up, series of quick passes, but then Foden snapshot from 15 yards well saved by Sommer!
A great chance for Darmian but he decides to backheel the ball instead 😳

Lautaro Martinez and Mkhitaryan on, Thuram (who has been really poor) and Zielinski off.
Our youth team won 4:2 against MC.
