Shock Victory: Wolves End Manchester City’s Perfect Premier League Record
Wolves Upset Manchester City to End Their Perfect Premier League Record
In a surprising turn of events at Molineux, Manchester City’s unbeaten streak in the Premier League came to an end as Wolves secured a shock victory with a second-half winner from Hwang Hee-chan.
City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, was forced to watch the match from the stands due to a one-match touchline ban. Without his direct involvement, City struggled to assert their usual dominance, and their prolific striker Erling Haaland had limited opportunities to make an impact, managing only a single chance throughout the game.
Nonetheless, for a brief moment, it appeared that the visitors would emerge triumphant after Julian Alvarez brilliantly curled in a free-kick to equalize Ruben Dias’ early own goal.
However, just as Wolves’ Pedro Neto had initiated the opening goal with a raid down the right-wing, Nelson Semedo’s forward surge inspired a second goal for Wolves. This victory ended Wolves’ run of six consecutive defeats against City.
The day turned out to be particularly bitter for former Wolves midfielder Matheus Nunes. Having recently completed a £53 million transfer to City, the Portuguese international faced backlash from the home fans who had not forgotten his previous allegiance. They jeered him every time he touched the ball until he was eventually substituted at half-time.
Despite the loss, Manchester City’s overall performance in the Premier League this season has been outstanding. They will undoubtedly regroup and aim to continue their pursuit of success in their upcoming matches.
