Wolves defeated Manchester City 2-1 on Saturday to snap their unbeaten streak in the Premier League.
Wolves’ Hwang Hee-chan emerged as their hero by scoring a crucial goal in the second half that stunned the champs.
Pep Guardiola, manager of City, had to sit in the stands to fulfill a one-match touchline suspension, making the game unusual from the start. This absence was crucial since City found it difficult to exert their typical dominance over the game. Even the usually prolific scorer Erling Haaland was only given one opportunity.
When Ruben Dias’ early own goal was canceled out by Julian Alvarez’s sublime free kick, the game initially seemed to be going in City’s favor. Wolves, though, would not be outdone.
Nelson Semedo’s forward rush provided motivation for the Wolves to score their second goal, which surprised City. With this triumph, the Wolves’ six-game losing streak versus the champions came to a stop.
It was a terrible day for Matheus Nunes, the former Wolves midfielder who had just signed a £53 million transfer to City. Every time Nunes touched the ball, the home supporters, who were obviously harboring animosity, booed him until he was eventually replaced at halftime.
