67th minute: Haaland comes deep to retrieve possession from a rampaging Grealish. Sa saves his bouncing shot and Kilman will get a wise block in on Foden’s strive on the rebound. He’s no longer going to be to disillusioned to in discovering no credit for that as a goalkick is given.

66th minute: Nunes is booked for a leisurely anxiousness on Grealish. Neves is additionally carded for dissent. Wolves are fired up and taking part in admirably but that wasn’t priceless.

54th minute: Grealish glides through about a challenges within the City half of to originate De Bruyne. Uncharacteristically, the Belgian misjudged the scenario, letting Haaland bustle offside and then passing within the lend a hand of Foden. Possession strikes to Cancelo but Foden can’t in discovering on the tip of his chipped heinous.

52nd minute: Neto dances past about a challenges down the City left earlier than Cancelo tackles him with the skin of his foot, which feels very on-impress. The corner is a unhealthy one into the thick of the six-yard box however the company sure.

Halftime: Cancelo appears to be like for Haaland as he generous did in midweek. This time, the City striker tries to manipulate it on his chest somewhat than stop taekwondo fashion and the likelihood is gone. Maybe clever, given Collins’ earlier dabble with martial arts. That is halftime and it has been an entertaining game. Announcing Wolves private performed smartly aside from conceding two avoidable goals and gifting City a dull crimson card sounds completely ridiculous, but it completely’s additionally maintain of bright. See you lend a hand right here in a transient time.

45th minute+1: We’re into three minutes of added time. De Bruyne takes the ball down on his chest, it sits up invitingly but he drags the shot broad of Sa’s factual-hand put up from 25 yards.

42nd minute: For those concerned that the game’s gone – you generous can’t stud a man within the bread basket and in discovering away with it this day – Akanji has generous accomplished a great “sit down yourself down!” shoulder rate on Jonny.

39th minute: If Wolves are going on right here, they’re going on swinging (no, Nathan, no longer adore that – that’s no longer allowed both). Neto cuts inner Stones and sends a shot skimming generous broad of Ederson’s shut to put up.

37th minute: Grealish now getting roundly booed by the Wolves followers and known as rude names for… exams notes… getting kung-fu kicked within the abdominal. Luminous.

33rd minute: RED CARD FOR COLLINS! Oh pricey, oh pricey. Right here is an unenviable assignment for the leisure Wolves gamers on the arena. Grealish went to gain a bouncing ball from Cancelo down the left and Collins has – at most spellbinding – horribly misjudged that and plunged his studs into the England global’s abdominal. Grealish is receiving medicine and the referee had completely no choice there, I’m terrified.

28th minute: Silva finds Grealish, who curls over from 25 yards. No longer a wise effort by all accounts, but additional proof of about a of the average waddle returning.

Wolves scrutinize vivid in assault, it is generous a disgrace about the chaos unfolding within the lend a hand of their involving entrance three.

22nd minute: I guess Wolves must judge exterior of the box to in discovering lend a hand into this and Neto has tried to award himself a penalty there. Smartly, he went down in a heap below minimal consideration from Akanji then caught the ball on the flooring as he protested. Referee Anthony Taylor penalised him for handball.
