He Manchester City continues apace in the fight for the Premier League. The team led by Pep Guardiola comfortably beat Wolverhampton, 5-1, and continues to have the quadruple championship in their sights.
City had a big responsibility after Arsenal’s victory over Bournemouth. Adding three was more than a must and they did not disappoint. The meeting figure was Erling Haaland who scored four goals, while Julián Álvarez sealed his team’s fifth score. Hwang Hee-Chan, meanwhile, is the author of the Wolves discount.
The Norwegian scored three goals in the first half. First, a penalty. Then, a header, in addition to another shot from the maximum penalty near the whistle. In the second half, just a minute after the visitors’ goal, he completed his brilliant performance with a superb left-footed shot at the far post.
The Citizens continued their domination, without giving Wolverhampton any chance. That’s when the changes came and Haaland left the field. Álvarez came to replace him, who has scored again at the Etihad since January 31. With these four goals, the Scandinavian once again made the difference in the scorers’ ranking, which he leads with 25 goals. His pursuers? Chelsea’s Cole Palmer and Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, both on 20.
