Man City maintained their stable form when marking their fourth consecutive win, while consolidating their position in the top 4. Pep Guardiola's team ranked 3rd with 64 points, 4 points ahead of the 6th ranked team, Nottingham, and having played one more match.
As for Kevin De Bruyne, he created a memorable milestone when he participated in a total of 250 goals. Among Pep Guardiola's students, only Lionel Messi has done the same.

Both teams started the game with determination from the first minutes. City's Ruben Dias and Wolves' Matheus Cunha both tried their luck with long-range shots, although they missed.
With a comfortable mentality after successfully staying in the league, Wolves showed no fear of the home team's strength and had clear chances to go ahead. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde cleverly beat the offside trap, but his cross could not reach Marshall Munetsi in a good position. Rayan Ait-Nouri also left his mark when his left-footed shot hit the post and then a right-footed finish forced Josko Gvardiol to save on the goal line.
Despite struggling to get going early on, Man City slowly regained control of the game. They kept up the pressure late in the first half, with Nico O'Reilly forcing goalkeeper Jose Sa to show his skills. In the final minute of the first half, Jeremy Doku crossed for Kevin De Bruyne to coolly finish into the bottom corner, opening the scoring for the Etihad team.
After the break, Wolves continued to be dangerous on the counter-attack. Matheus Cunha once again sent the Etihad into a tailspin when he hit the post from a tight angle. However, that was all the visitors could muster. Manchester City dominated the remainder of the game, with Omar Marmoush and Mateo Kovacic having chances, but they couldn't add to their tally.
