Josko Gvardiol was brilliant as he equalized for Manchester City prior to half-time. He caught the ball on the outside the left-hand area and curled it towards the other corner. Although the wolves had put up a valiant defense, they were powerless to change the situation. This was Manchester City's ninth goal this season that came from outside the box.
Five goals have now been scored by Josko Gvardiol in his previous seven away Premier League outings. He scored against Newcastle in September, and this is the second strike of the season.
Wolves Take the Lead in the 7th Minute
Just minutes into the match, the hosts made a remarkable impact by scoring in the 7th minute, with a stunning goal from Strand Larsen that caught the champions off guard.
It was a well-executed play that many might have anticipated. Bueno delivered a precise pass out wide, allowing Semedo to advance with ample space. He skillfully sent a low cross towards Strand Larsen, taking advantage of the disorganization in City's back four.
Although the finish seemed straightforward, the ball moved quickly, presenting a challenge for the striker. Nevertheless, he executed the shot effectively, giving the Wolves an early lead!

Poor start from Wolves in the new Premier League season
Wolverhampton Wanderers geared up to host Manchester City in an exciting Matchday 8 fixture of the Premier League 2024/25 season. Wolves are facing significant challenges in the Premier League this season. They remain winless and are firmly positioned in the relegation zone. After seven games, they've only managed a single draw and are currently enduring a troubling five-match losing streak across all competitions.
Wolves were clearly the most favorable matchup of the upcoming clashes for Pep's side. Wolves has yet to secure a single victory in the Premier League this season, languishing at 19th in the table with just one draw and six defeats in their first seven matches. The reigning champions looked to adapt in the absence of Kevin De Bruyne, who is sidelined due to a groin injury.
