Wolverhampton had several opportunities to take the lead, including Jean-Ricner Bellegarde breaking through City's defense, but he couldn't find Marshall Munetsi. Rayan Aït-Nouri then hit the post with his left foot and had another chance with his right foot, but Joško Gvardiol cleared the ball.

Manchester City gained control in the final minutes of the first half. Nico O'Reilly's close-range shot was saved by José Sá, and the team took the lead before halftime. Jérémy Doku assisted Kevin De Bruyne, who scored a goal in the bottom corner. De Bruyne is a fan favorite, despite announcing his departure from the team at the end of the season.

In the second half, Wolverhampton continued to fight, with Cunha hitting the post again from a narrow angle. Manchester City then regained control, with Omar Marmoush and Mateo Kovačić shooting wide, but unable to score the second goal to end the match.

Despite not scoring a second goal, Manchester City emerged victorious and extended their winning streak at home to five matches, while Wolverhampton's six-game winning streak came to an end.

The match's standout player was Kevin De Bruyne, according to the Flashscore ratings.
