33-year-old veteran hit a fatal blow, Premier League competition is in chaos: Manchester City surpasses Newcastle and chases Arsenal

A match in the 35th round of the Premier League began, with Manchester City facing Wolves at home. Manchester City withdrew from the championship early this season, allowing Liverpool to win the championship easily. Manchester City was in trouble for a time and their record was fluctuating. However, in recent season sprint stages, Manchester City has played a rare wave of winning streaks, with four consecutive wins in various competitions, including the Premier League defeat of Crystal Palace, Everton and Aston Villa, and the FA Cup defeated Nottingham Forest. This time Manchester City faces the 13th-ranked Wolves in the league. As a result, Manchester City won the game in a very difficult situation, refreshing its winning streak to 5 games.

Manchester City lined up 4231 formation in this game. The offensive combination of De Bruyne, Marmush, Gundogan and Doku jointly attacked. Bernardo Silva and Kovacic form a double midfielder. Nunes, Ruben Dias, Gvadior and Nico O'Reilly started the game with four defenders. Ederson serves as the starting goalkeeper. Haaland, Foden and Gallish were all on standby on the bench.

Wolves had the chance to score first in this game, but unfortunately, Munesi did not hit the ball against an empty goal, while Nuri's shot was blocked by the post. Manchester City is really lucky, only a slight difference from conceding the goal. Manchester City scored the first goal in the 35th minute. Duoku used his extraordinary man to tear open the defense line, and then assisted De Bruyne to push the ball to score. This goal gave Guardiola a temporary relief. At the end of the half, Manchester City led Wolves 1-0. Manchester City had a 66% possession rate in the first half, with 7 shots and two shots on the right side, scoring 1 goal. The Wolves failed to score five shots in the first half.

The post saved Manchester City again in the second half, and Cunha's shot was blocked by the post on the left. Manchester City played conservatively and just wanted to keep the score 1-0. Although the Wolves made large-scale substitution adjustments, they successively sent Saravia, Rodrigo Gomez, Gonzalo Guedes, Huang Xican and Santiago Bueno. However, Wolves were unable to break through Manchester City's goal. The final score was 1-0, and Manchester City defeated Wolves.

The biggest winner of Manchester City in this game was 33-year-old De Bruyne. He scored the only goal in the game, and this goal is worth a thousand gold. Manchester City remained unbeaten in the last 43 games in De Bruyne's goal. Duoku, who gave assists, is also a key player in winning. He has contributed 6 goals and 9 assists this season. The Premier League five-game situation is in chaos again. Manchester City has temporarily climbed to third place with 64 points, only 3 points less than Arsenal, who is second. Newcastle United dropped to fourth place with 62 points. Chelsea and Nottingham Forest followed closely behind, both with 60 points.
