Gianluigi Donnarumma ended Manchester City’s 1-0 win over Coventry making a crucial save to deny Ellis Simms from point-blank range but it could have been a very different afternoon for the Italian after he came close to an early blunder.
A back-pass from Abdukodir Khusanov should have been routine in the opening minutes, but Donnarumma’s first touch was loose and more than half the ball had crossed the line before he hacked it to safety and avoided an early own goal.
