MANCHESTER CITY 5 WOLVES 1
CITY goal machine Erling Haaland went on the rampage to ensure a swift stunning retort to Arsenal's early Premier League statement of intent.
A four-point lead was systematically reduced to one with a game in hand as Pep Guardiola's side kept up their ruthless pursuit of a record-breaking fourth title.
And it appears Viking goal raider Haaland is also heading for his second successive Golden Boot award, handed to the League's top marksman.
He was simply unplayable and unstoppable as this super-charged team seem to have found another explosive gear at the business end of the season.
This was their 20th unbeaten league game on the spin.
Any early nerves were removed after just 10 minutes.
A neat ball from Phil Foden set up Bernardo Silva and his cross into the box saw Rayan Ait-Nouri's rash challenge bring Josko Gvardiol crashing to the ground.
