Manchester City celebrated a successful 2023 by displaying five trophies on the pitch before securing a 2-0 victory over Sheffield United at The Etihad. Rodri's goal, which felt inevitable, and Alvarez's contribution ensured the win, allowing Man City to close the gap at the top of the league. The match also highlighted Phil Foden's excellence and featured a solid defensive effort from Akanji and Ake, leading to City's first clean sheet since October.
