  • 93'
    FT: Man City 3-0 Wolves!! All over at the Etihad and once Haaland got the first, it was a walk in the park for the home side. Haaland got his second early in the second period after a foul by Neves in the box and the Norwegian completed his hat-trick in the 54th minute. Wolves never looked liked scoring and ended up well beaten. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!

    Podence gives to Nunes and his strike is blocked by Akanji.

  • 90'
    Three more minutes here.
  • 87'
    Little of note to report in the last five minutes here. Wolves are looking for a consolation but don't look like getting it.
  • 82'
    Podence! The Portuguese's initial effort is blocked by Stones and the second chance goes along the ground and wide.

  • 66'
    Mahrez has the ball in the back of the net, but the linesman says offside!! KDB plays a lovely through ball for Mahrez and he chips Sa, but I think he's just off.
  • 64'
    Wolves get themselves a corner.
  • 63'
    Huge appeals for a penalty by Wolves as Sarabia's shot is blocked by Ake and the ref says no! Not a pen for me...
  • 62'
    Grealish attacks and looks to play in Alvarez, but Sa gets there first.
  • 60'
    Man City sub: Haaland is replaced by Julian Alvarez and the Norwegian gets a huge round of applause from the crowd.
  • 56'
    Lopetegui's face says it all. They're going to leave the Etihad empty handed and City have been clinical.
  • 55'
    That was an absolute gift by Sa to Mahrez. The Algerian couldn't believe his luck!
Goal
Goaaaaaal!

  • 50'
    Haaland sends Sa the wrong way and it's 2-0! Neves once again protests to the referee. The penalty was fairly central actually.

    Wolves triple sub: Sarabia, Moutinho and Cunha come on for Hwang-Hee Chan, Traore and Jimenez.
  • 45'
    HT: Man City 1-0 Wolves! Half-time at the Etihad and City have dominated this one. Wolves came to defend, but Haaland headed in a KDB cross in the 40th minute. City should've had a penalty when Collins fouled Grealish in the box and then Collins made two vital interventions to prevent the second. Wolves need to attack in the second 45. Back shortly!
  • 45'
    45+2: Collins is the hero again as KDB gives to Mahrez in the area, he squares for Haaland to tap in and Collins intercepts!
  • 45'
    45+1: Off the line by Collins!! Mahrez runs down the middle, he gives to Grealish and his strike is headed off the line by the Wolves man!
  • 45'
    Three extra minutes.
  • 44'
    Let's see what Wolves do now as they'll have to change their plan.
  • 42'
    Huge penalty shout! City go again through Grealish and he goes down under contact from Collins. It's a clear trip. However, Coote says no pen and the VAR Darren England backs his colleague. Wolves have got away with one there...
Goal
Goaaaaaal!

  • 40'
    Haaland gives City the lead!!! Mahrez has the ball on this near side, he lays off to the Belgian, whose cross picks out Haaland at the back stick and the Norwegian gets above Collins to head past Sa from six yards!
  • 39'
    Raul Jimenez commits a foul and City get the free-kick.
  • 37'
    Grealish's ball in can't find Haaland and Sa catches.

  • 28'
    Grealish!!! The number 10 has a go from distance and Sa knocks away to safety! That was hit powerfully.
  • 26'
    Free-kick to Wolves after a foul on Traore. City are far from happy with Coote's decision there.
  • 26'
    Rodri has a puzzled look on his face as Coote pulls out the yellow card. He did pull back Nunes though.
  • 25'
    Man City win a corner and nothing comes of it.
  • 22'
    Lewis' ball to the back stick is overhit and Grealish's attempt to keep the ball in play sees it land on the top of the net. Wolves have just come to defend and counter if they get the chance.
  • 18'
    Haaland!!! The first chance of the match sees KDB play in Haaland in the box and Sa makes the save from close range!
  • 16'
    Man City are dominating possession, but we haven't seen any chances yet. 92% possession!
  • 14'
    Rico Lewis goes down at midfield under Hwang Hee-Chan and Wolves felt Lewis was doing the fouling rather than the other way around.
  • 14'
    Lopetegui has had a bit too much to say to the fourth official and he's cautioned.

    Wolves want a foul as they look to break and Lemina is cautioned for protesting.
  • 13'
    Gundogan walks to the sideline and is ready to return as KDB's free-kick is headed away.
  • 12'
    Gundogan is still getting treatment and there looks to be some claret as well as Kilman's shoulder caught him right in the face.
  • 11'
    That was some hit by Kilman as he charged in with his body and Gundogan is getting treatment to his jaw.

  • 10'
    Kilman wipes out Gundogan just to the side of the Wolves box and he deservedly gets the booking.
  • 7'
    Man City want a free-kick, the ref plays advantage, but it comes to nothing. Nunes is also givien a talking to after committing the foul on Lewis.
  • 5'
    Lewis believes he's won the corner off the defender. However, the lino says no. I think Lewis was right.
  • 4'
    Semedo is warned by the referee for shirt pulling on Stones before the corner, but it happens again and a sterner warning is issued.
  • 2'
    Mahrez's cross from this near side is headed out for a corner by Collins.

    Fast start to this one as City attack and then Wolves attempt to counter, but the long ball for Jimenez is overhit and goes out for a throw.
