Manchester City secured a 2-1 victory over Wolves with a late injury-time header from John Stones. Despite not being at their best, Pep Guardiola’s side managed to overcome a strong defensive effort from the hosts. Wolves initially took the lead with a goal from Jorgen Strand Larsen, but Josko Gvardiol equalized spectacularly for City. The match was a challenge for City as Wolves set up a solid defense with a back three formation. Matheus Nunes, a former Wolves player, faced jeers from the fans after controversially forcing a transfer to City, but he contributed to City’s win with a crucial tackle and shot that led to a goal.
Nunes, who posted on social media after the match, celebrated City’s victory and his role in the game despite facing backlash from Wolves fans. The midfielder’s performance in this game was a positive contrast to his previous experience at Molineux, where he was jeered and substituted at halftime. With the opportunity to start in the Champions League game against Sparta Prague, Nunes has the chance to secure a regular spot in City’s midfield, especially with players like Ilkay Gundogan struggling to perform. Guardiola has praised Nunes’ special qualities, indicating that consistent performances could solidify his position in the team.
