Cristiano Ronaldo’s 13th goal of the season helped Manchester United close in on the Premier League’s top four with a hard-fought 1-0 win at Norwich.

The Portugal international scored a penalty with quarter of an hour left in Norfolk to give Ralf Rangnick a second victory since his arrival and extend the Red Devils’ unbeaten run to six games following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s sacking.

It was harsh on Norwich who had their chances and pushed the visitors hard but remain bottom while United are level on points with fourth-placed West Ham.

Follow all the latest reaction from the Premier League action of the day below:

Man City 0 - 0 Wolves

56 mins: Manchester City have another penalty shout turned down after a weaving run from Sterling carries the ball into the box. He’s held back by Rayan Ait-Nouri and goes to ground but Ait-Nouri releases him just in time for Jon Moss to award Wolves a goal kick.

Off the line!

City come so, so close to the opener with another cross from Cancelo on the right side. He picks out Gundogan perfectly on the opposite side of the box and Gundogan loops a header over Jose Sa. Coady runs back and somehow manages to clear the ball off the goallines with a brilliant defensive header!

Man City 0 - 0 Wolves

53 mins: City have penned Wolves into their own penalty area since the second half commenced. Even Adama Traore is doing his part defensively. Grealish dinks a cross into the box but Coady heads it back out. City come again with Cancelo making a run to the byline. He keeps the ball alive and flicks it into the six-yard box. Jesus gets in front of Coady but volleys his effort over the crossbar!

Man City 0 - 0 Wolves

51 mins: Gundogan sends the corner short to Cancelo who plays it inside to Rodri. He swings a cross deep into the box and picks out Jesus. Jesus brings the ball under control but can’t find a way past Kilman and City are forced to pass the ball backwards... for now.

Second half: Man City 0 - 0 Wolves

Kick off: Manchester City get the match back underway. Joao Cancelo curls a cross into the box from the right wing and Conor Coady fails to deal with it. Instead he knocks it down to Gabriel Jesus who takes a shot and wins City a corner early in the second half.

Coming up in the Premier League

We’ve got a fair bit of Premier League action still to come today. At 3pm we’re covering Steven Gerrard’s return to Anfield as Liverpool host Aston Villa and will be bringing goal updates from Chelsea’s match versus Leeds and Arsenal’s game against Southampton.

Then at 5:30pm Manchester United travel to Norwich as Ralf Rangnick attempts to maintain his unbeaten start as United boss.

Man City 0 - 0 Wolves

Ruben Dias, Rodri, and Ruben Neves have all picked up yellow cards over the first half with Raul Jimenez earning two - as well as a red - within 45 seconds of each other.

It’s been an interesting first 45 minutes to say the least.

Half-time: Man City 0 - 0 Wolves

45+8 mins: Well then. Where to start here. The game remains goalless but Wolves have been through the ringer. Ruben Neves and Romain Saiss clashed heads which led to a long stoppage and Raul Jimenez got himself sent off for no good reason.

The visitors are down to 10-men and will have an even more difficult 45 minutes coming up.
