City relentless in title race as Haaland scores four to crush toothless Wolves
Manchester City showcased dominance as Erling Haaland’s four-goal spectacle led them to a resounding 5-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.
Haaland, who previously netted a hat-trick against Wolves, surpassed expectations with a quartet of goals, propelling City’s relentless attack.
From an early penalty conversion to a series of precise headers and finishes, Haaland’s performance was a display of clinical precision. Despite a brief response from Wolves courtesy of Hwang Hee-chan, City’s lead remained unassailable.
The match also marked a milestone for City, as they secured their 43rd consecutive home game without defeat across all competitions, underscoring their formidable prowess at home.
With their sights set on the Premier League title race, City now trail Arsenal by just one point with a game in hand, signalling their intent for a fourth consecutive league triumph.
Meanwhile, Wolves’ struggles on the road persist, extending their winless streak away from home to five matches.
