Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester City LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Wolves 0-3 Manchester City: Jack Grealish answered his critics with a goal after just 55 seconds before Nathan Collins received a straight red card for a reckless challenge on the England international
Jack Grealish scored inside the opening minute and produced a much improved performance as Manchester City thrashed 10-man Wolves at Molineux.
After being backed by his manager Pep Guardiola, Grealish answered his critics as he finished Kevin de Bruyne’s fine cross to give City the lead after just 55 seconds with his first goal of the season.
Erling Haaland added a second for City to score in a seventh straight game in a row, this time drilling a shot from outside of the box into the bottom corner.
It went from bad to worse for Wolves when Nathan Collins was shown a straight red card for a recklessly high challenge on Grealish.
Although Bruno Lage’s side responded well, Phil Foden made it three in the second half as De Bruyne got another assist. The result moves City top, ahead of Arsenal who visit Brentford tomorrow.

GOOD CHANCE FOR WOLVES! Ait-Nouri makes a great run on the flank, and he cuts it back perfectly towards a wide-open Guedes in the box. The winger, unfortunately, seems to panic and mishits his shot. It's easily Wolves' best chance from open play.

Sa makes an awful pass that City almost capitalise on. That was extremely sloppy from the keeper.

Wolves are somehow looking better and more confident with 10 men on the pitch. Neto has especially looked lively as he tries to get his side back into it.

Cancelo crosses the ball in the box, but Foden seems disoriented and can't get on the end of the ball to score.

Wolves win a corner, and it is flicked on into the box by Podence, but no Wolves player is central enough to get on the end of it.

As a reminder, Wolves haven’t scored in the second half in any of their last seven Premier League games – it’s their longest such run in the competition, while the last team to have a longer streak were Southampton between October and December last season (8).
