City’s third goal came on the hour mark when Reijnders set up Haaland for his second of the match. Later, substitute Rayan Cherki added a fourth goal.
Wolves had some chances, but a header by Marshall Munetsi was ruled out for offside. Jorgen Strand Larsen missed a close shot, and Rayan Ait-Nouri fired a volley over the bar.
Goalkeeper James Trafford made his debut for City, stepping in for the injured Ederson. He kept a clean sheet and looked confident throughout the match.
