EPL week 22 review: City close the gap to four points with victory over Wolves

Week 22 of the English Premier League ends with Manchester City closing the gap to four points with a comfortable victory over ten-man Wolves at The Etihad.

After murdering Rotherham 7-0, and mutilating Burton Albion 9-0, I imagine Wolves had an inkling that Man City would give them a good hiding when they howled underneath the Blue Moon of The Etihad, and that’s exactly what happened.

Nuno Espírito Santo’s side was the first to stop City taking all three points from an English Premier League (EPL) game when they held them to a 1-1 draw at Molineux in August, but after the first 20-minutes of the rematch, you knew there was Bob Hope of a repeat.

This season, City have been the masters at scoring early, and within ten minutes, they were ahead with a greyhound of a goal. Aymeric Laporte started the move with a defence-splitting daisy-cutter from the back, Leroy Sané was onto it like a whippet, and Gabriel Jesus bundled his laser-like low cross into the back of the net.
