Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City cruised past 10-man Wolverhampton Wanderers to also maintain their unbeaten start to the campaign.

Jack Grealish put Manchester City ahead in the first minute before Erling Haaland doubled the visitors’ advantage with his 11th goal of the season.

Erling Haaland has become the first player in Premier League history to score in each of his first four away games in the competition

Erling Haaland has scored 100 goals in his last 99 games in all competitions since leaving RB Salzburg in January 2020.

Nathan Collins was dismissed for a dangerous challenge on Grealish in the 33rd minute before Phil Foden wrapped up the win in the second half.

Kevin De Bruyne reached 150 Premier League contributions (58 goals, 92 assists) in just his 217th match.

Manchester City are on 17 points and sit in first place on goal difference with Tottenham Hotspur.

Wolves drop to 16th with Leicester remaining bottom on one point from their opening seven matches.

After the match Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola said “The game started really well for us. And then a second and a red card. To come here against this team, with the quality they have – Neto, Moutinho, Neves – they have the quality to transition so fast.

“It was an incredible victory. We struggled a lot – big compliment for Wolves. It was so important before the international break.

On Grealish, he said: “He played really good. Strong, made a good goal. He is a guy who doesn’t lose the balls. It was a good performance from him. Hopefully he can continue in the international team and come back fit.”
