Haaland and Kovacic Light Up Etihad with Premier League Magic
City's Norwegian Striker Nets Penalty to Break Wolves' Resistance
Live Commentary and Highlights from the Thrilling Match
In a pulsating Premier League encounter at the Etihad Stadium, Erling Haaland's clinical penalty in the 66th minute secured a vital three points for Manchester City against a resilient Wolverhampton Wanderers side.
The game exploded into life early on as Haaland made a menacing run behind Joao Toti, but Mateo Kovacic's pass proved a difficult one to play due to its awkward angle. The ball rolled through to Jose Sa, denying Haaland a potential early goal.
Wolves were without manager Gary ONeil on the touchline, who was serving a one-game ban for an FA charge of improper conduct towards a referee. Despite his absence, Wolves gave a spirited performance, but Rodri's free-kick in the 1752nd minute gave City the breakthrough they needed.
