Wolves 1-2 Man City: Late Drama, Late Win, Late Sigh of Relief

Man City edged past Wolves in a tense match at Molineux, thanks to a late, late winner from Erling Haaland. It wasn't pretty, it wasn't comfortable, and it definitely wasn't expected. The Blues looked shaky at times, and Wolves, well, they were Wolves. They're always up for a fight, and they definitely gave City a run for their money.

It felt like a classic case of "two points dropped" for City, especially after a disappointing draw against Nottingham Forest in their last game. They were struggling to break down Wolves' stubborn defense, and the home side was looking increasingly dangerous on the counter-attack.

But just when it looked like City were going to have to settle for a frustrating draw, the inevitable happened. Haaland, the man who seems to score goals out of thin air, popped up with the winner in the 87th minute.

It wasn't the most beautiful goal you'll ever see. It was a bit scrappy, a bit lucky, but it was enough. And it's safe to say, it was a huge relief for City. They needed that win, and they needed it badly.

Here's a quick rundown of what went down:

• Wolves started strong and held City to a goalless first half. They were the better team for the opening 45 minutes, and they deserved to be ahead at the break.
• City came out firing in the second half. They were much more aggressive, and they created a lot of chances. The pressure finally paid off in the 78th minute when Phil Foden put City ahead with a well-taken goal.
• But just when it seemed like City were going to cruise to victory, Wolves leveled the score just three minutes later. Matheus Cunha scored a fantastic goal, and the tension was back on.
• And then came the late drama. Haaland, the man for the big moments, slotted home the winner with just three minutes left on the clock.

The win keeps City at the top of the Premier League table, but they'll need to be much more consistent if they want to win the title this year.

The game was a reminder that even the best teams in the world can have bad days. And sometimes, you just need a bit of luck. And who better to deliver that luck than Erling Haaland?

This win was all about grit, determination, and a bit of good fortune. It's a victory City will celebrate, but they'll be hoping for a more convincing performance next time around.
