Premier League: Jack Grealish And Erling Haaland Destroy Wolves As Manchester City Go Top
NDTV
Wolves vs Manchester City: Goals from Jack Grealish, Erling Haaland and Phil Foden powered Manchester City to a 3-0 win over Wolves at the Molineux.
Jack Grealish scored his first goal this season and Erling Haaland extended his record-breaking hot-streak as Manchester City powered to a 3-0 win over 10-man Wolves on Saturday. Pep Guardiola's side needed just 56 seconds to take the lead at Molineux as Grealish finally enjoyed a day to remember after a difficult time since joining City from Aston Villa last year. Haaland doubled City's advantage with his 14th goal in 10 games in all competitions following a 51 million pound ($58 million) move from Borussia Dortmund that already appears a bargain.
Wolves lost any chance of a fightback when Nathan Collins was sent off for an ugly stomach-high foul on Grealish in the first half.
Phil Foden capped City's stroll in the midlands sunshine as the Premier League champions moved to the top of the table.
Unbeaten City are two points clear of second placed Arsenal, who would regain pole position if they win at Brentford on Sunday.
"The game started really well for us with the two goals and the red card. After the Champions League to come here at 12:30 with the quality they have, it was an incredible victory," Guardiola said.
