133

Wolverhampton Wanderers defeated Manchester City which resulted in their first loss of the season, emerging victorious with a 2-1 win at Molineux on Saturday afternoon.

Pedro Neto sprinted through the City defense, easily bypassing Nathan Ake, and Ruben Dias inadvertently deflected Neto’s cross into his own net.

Throughout the first half, City found it challenging to contain Neto’s speed on the flanks as Wolves exerted pressure.

Although the visitors were behind at halftime, they promptly retaliated when Julian Alvarez skillfully curled a free-kick past Jose Sa.

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

Despite losing to Wolves, Manchester City remain top of the Premier League table, but Liverpool could overtake them if they beat Tottenham in the late game on Saturday.
