London England.
The last plenary session of this season in the five major European leagues is now history, with the defeat of Manchester City, which is not invincible, as demonstrated and exposed by Wolves, retreated into its territory, frenetic on the counterattack, launched by the 1-0 caused by the vertigo of Pedro Neto, stopped by Julián Álvarez’s great goal from a free kick and the final winner by Hwang Hee Chan’s 2-1.
After the setback in the League Cup, Pep Guardiola’s team suffered another, unforeseen setback, among their absolute dominance until now of the Premier, with six wins in six games, until the Molineux stadium brought them back to earth , reduced his lead and told him that he is also vulnerable with Erling Haaland, without chances, without success, without option.
Wolves’ rebellion began in the 12th minute. Pedro Neto is unstoppable when he runs at full speed, when he drives the ball as he did when he took possession of the ball in his own field, to overwhelm two rivals, including Aké on two occasions. , before allying himself with fortune. His cross bounced off Ruben Dias and made it 1-0. A surprise.
Behind on the scoreboard since then, far from its best version, without as many chances, without the usual superiority, slowed down by the withdrawal of its opponent, the match was a hieroglyph for Manchester City, which at the time of the duel He had only connected four shots between the three sticks. Too little for all its great potential.
But its amount of resources is unlimited. With Erling Haaland appeased, Julián Álvarez appeared with a superb direct free kick to score the tie (1-1). His shot with his right foot was perfect, straight into the top corner, unreachable for José Sa, no matter how hard he stretched, and perhaps for any goalkeeper who had dared to interfere with that shot.
The fifth goal of the season by the Argentine world champion attacker seemed to be the origin of City’s comeback, which then felt with everything in its favor, when Dawson cleared a shot from Phil Foden off the line and when José Sa repelled a shot from Akanji , but also, suddenly, when he was exposed once more to Wolves’ lethal counterattack.
Just following those opportunities, another attack on the right wing caused chaos in the visiting defense. First Hwang missed his shot, then he did not forgive, as soon as Cunha gave him the rebound, to end Manchester City’s full lead.
