Manchester City’s unbeaten run stretched to a Club record equalling 28 games as the Pep Guardiola’s side eased to a comfortable 4-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers to consolidate their position at the top of the Premier League.
City were in control from the first whistle and took the lead when Leander Dendoncker turned Riyad Mahrez’s cross into his own net in the 15th minute, but Conor Coady netted an equaliser when he headed in from Joao Moutinho’s free-kick just past the hour mark.
It was Wolves’ first shot of the game, but City’s response was emphatic as they struck three times in the final 10 minutes to deservedly seal a 21st consecutive win in all competitions.
Gabriel Jesus smashed home from close range after Kyle Walker’s cross was deflected into his path to restore City’s lead, before Mahrez all but wrapped up the points in the final minute when he reacted quickest inside the area to drive a loose ball past Rui Patricio.
Jesus grabbed his second and City’s fourth in the final seconds, tapping in after Ilkay Gundogan’s 20-yard effort was parried back into his path, which was originally ruled offside before being overturned by VAR.
The win sends the Etihad club 15 points clear at the top of the Premier League ahead of Manchester United’s game against Crystal Palace on Wednesday and sees tehm match the Club record unbeaten run put together under Guardiola from May to December in 2017.
