Pep Guardiola insisted he was not concerned after Erling Haaland missed a series of chances including a late, close-range opportunity as Manchester City lost 3-1 to Liverpool in the Community Shield.
The Norway international, making his debut in domestic football for City, had spurned several opportunities in the first half at the King Power Stadium before the ball fell to him in added time with the goal gaping. But Haaland snatched at the attempt and blazed over, clipping the crossbar.
