Clinical Man City sink brave 10-man Wolves

Pep Guardiola's side took all three points at Molineux Stadium in a match against a brave Wolves side that played with 10 players for more than 60 minutes. Goals from Grealish, Haaland and Foden were enough to sink the home team. 

Manchester City started the match in the best possible way. Grealish scored the first goal of the match just 56 seconds into the game. Foden received near the box and found De Bruyne with a back-heel pass. The Belgian crossed the ball from the left flank and Grealish pushed the ball into the net. 

Despite Wolves trying to press high, the Sky Blues did not slow down and Haaland scored just fifteen minutes later. The Norwegian received on the edge of the box and beat Jose Sa to the near post to extend the lead.

The bad news was not yet over for the Dingles. In the 33rd minute, Nathan Collins was sent off for a hard tackle on Jack Grealish. Wolves were down to ten men and Neves played as a centre-back. 

Despite conceding two goals in the first half and playing with 10 players, the home team did not give up. During the first minutes of the second half, the Dingles were brave and had some chances to score a goal. However, Pep Guardiola's team scored the third goal.

In the 68th minute Foden extended the lead even further. Haaland found De Bruyne on the edge of the box on the right flank and the Belgian squared the ball. The young Englishman, at the near post, fired home from close range to score the last goal of the game.
