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.

Wolves go on the attack and are in the box, but Taylor blows his whistle for a foul on Grealish by Jonny. The home fans are certainly not happy with that decision.

Lage has opted to not make any changes going into this half.

And the second half is underway here at the Molineux.

Lage needs to regroup now and see if his side will benefit from any substitutions. The goal now will likely be to keep the score down and not concede any other goals. Man City will come out even more ruthless, and they will find it hard to let-up against a 10-man Wolves. They are now top of the table ahead of Arsenal.

It took Manchester City 55 seconds to get on the scoresheet through Grealish, and from that moment, the visitors were all over the home side. Haaland doubled the lead a quarter of an hour later to score his 14th goal of the season. It went from bad to worse for Wolves as a reckless and unnecessary challenge from Collins saw him get a straight red card.
