Manchester City began their quest for their third Premier League title in four years with a 3-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Monday.
City asserted themselves from the off and their early dominance told after 20 minutes when Kevin de Bruyne tucked away a penalty after he was clumsily brought down by Romain Saiss, before Pep Guardiola's side doubled their lead 12 minutes later, when an intricate passing move was finished off by Phil Foden. Wolves pushed in the second half and they found a route back into the game when Raul Jimenez headed home a Daniel Podence cross after 78 minutes, but City had the final say when Gabriel Jesus's effort deflected home with what was virtually the last kick of the game.
