By Kazeem Ugbodaga

Manchester City’s unbeaten run ended on Saturday after a shocking 1-2 defeat at Wolves, but they still remain on top of the premier league.

Liverpool could go top if they beat Tottenham by at least 2-0 in a later match this evening.

An own-goal on 13 minutes gave Wolves the lead over City. Ruben Dias, who attempted to block the ball after a cross, sent it into the bottom right corner of his own goal.

On 30 minutes, Phil Foden went on a mazy run, skipped past two defenders and pulled the trigger in front of the keeper. Jose Sa made a decent save to deny his effort directed to the bottom right corner.

On first half added time, a free-kick into the box found Ruben Dias, who directed his header into the middle of the goal, but the keeper pulled off a fantastic reflex save.

On 52 minutes, Erling Haaland received a precise low pass inside the box, controlled the ball and drilled it to the middle of the goal, but Jose Sa made a comfortable save to stop his effort.

The Manchester City equalised on 58 minutes. Julian Alvarez struck with a perfectly taken free-kick from the edge of the box. He curled the ball straight into the top left corner.

Eight minutes later, Matheus Cunha put the ball on a plate for Hee-Chan Hwang, who scored with a simple close-range finish to make it 2-1.
