EPL: Wolves beat Manchester City 2-1

Wolverhampton Wanderers halted Manchester City’s flawless start in the Premier League this season by handing the league leaders their inaugural defeat of the campaign.

In a game-changing moment, Ruben Dias inadvertently redirected a Pedro Neto cross into Manchester City’s own net after the Wolves winger sped past Nathan Ake, breaching City’s defense.

Throughout the first half, City struggled to keep up with Neto’s speed and the relentless pressure from Wolves.

Although the visitors were trailing at halftime, they swiftly responded when Julian Alvarez expertly curved a free-kick past Jose Sa.

Nevertheless, Hwang Hee-chan regained Wolves’ lead, calmly slotting the ball home after Matheus Cunha found him unmarked in the box.

Despite the loss, Pep Guardiola’s squad maintained their top position in the league, with the possibility of being displaced if Liverpool triumphs over Tottenham in the late Saturday fixture.

Wolves currently stand in 13th place, securing seven points from seven matches.
