Yes, against the champions at home the Wolves are somehow
looking like a true contender and tonight these delivered an upsetting blow to
the likes of Pep Guardiola Citizens, despite Var and Sterling double these
could not hold their lead.
With an early call, courtesy of VAR after Riyad Mahrez was
fouled, as Wolves defender steps on the Algerian foot and the collegiate did not hesitate to award a penalty.
As the Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio guessing the move
from Raheem Sterling shoot, by stopping the shoot the whole of Molineaux went frenzy
but not for a long while as the game official immediately went upstairs.
Suddenly VAR awarded a second opportunity to the visitors
with an encroachment call from Wolves keeper and the PK was to be repeated and
to the dismay of Sterling, he missed but he got a lucky bounce.
Suddenly Manchester City was up the scoreboard in the first half, but in the second once again Raheem Sterling was heading to be the
hero of the game and in the 50’ scoring the second goal.
Going into the 55’ minute, the Wolves open the door when the
combination of Ruben Neves and Adama Traore these latter one scored the goal
that uplifted the locals with a beauty of a shoot outside the area.
However, in the 80th minutes the Wolves
started a rally that gives them the necessary elements to raise with a valuable
win, when Adama Traore challenging City’ Mendy and putting a ball into the feet
of Raul Jimenez for the equalizer in the 82’ minute.
Not even seven minutes passed by when Wolves Raul Jimenez
returned the favor when his assist became the game-winner by finding Matt Doherty
and these not hesitant to put the finishing touch in the 89’ minute.
Despite VAR being favorable for the defending champions
City and with a Sterling double, the way Wolverhampton has been playing lately
somehow tells me that this team one day can raise the league cup soon.
The troubles for the Sky Blues were the benefit for these
hardened Wolves, with Ederson red card and Sergio Aguero substituted by a second
string keeper Claudio Bravo, all the right moves were within their reach.
