Gary O’Neil claimed that something “terrible” happened during Wolves’ 5-1 defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Despite the result not being ideal for Wolves, City exacted revenge for their earlier loss to Wolves and moved closer to potentially winning the Premier League title. The statistics showed a clear difference in class between the two teams, with City dominating in terms of expected goals, shots on target, and possession.

City’s superstar number nine Erling Haaland scored four goals, with Julian Alvarez adding the fifth in a dominant display for the hosts. Wolves managed to score from their sole attempt on target, but O’Neil was particularly upset about the decision to award City’s first penalty. While O’Neil believed it was a poor decision, he acknowledged that officials do not determine the outcome of games and that Wolves were responsible for their performance and mistakes.

Despite the controversy surrounding the penalty decision, O’Neil admitted that Manchester City deserved to win the match. City’s strong performance and Wolves’ defensive vulnerabilities contributed to the result, regardless of the penalty call. O’Neil’s comments highlighted his frustration with the outcome but ultimately recognized City’s superiority on the day.
