Manchester City could not this Sunday with Wolverhampton Wanderers, fell 0-2 with a double by the Spanish Adama Traoré and placed eight points behind Liverpool. Wolves deserved the victory, especially for a first part in which, had he been more successful, he could have gone to rest with an advantage on the scoreboard.
The casualties in defense again affected the celestial and Pep Guardiola had to put a patch with the alignment of Joao Cancelo on the left side, something that modified the break with the entry of Zinchenko .
Unable to pierce the goal of the visitors, who had only achieved one victory this season, the citizens were left unmarked at home for the first time in 2019 and again gave points against an opponent who already tied him last season, that time in the Molineux Stadium.
The Wolves coup came in the last minutes. Joao Cancelo lost the ball, Raúl Jiménez made a great personal play and attended Traoré, who beat Ederson . The visitors extended their rent with the City completely overturned, already well into the added time, thanks to the Barcelona squad, who signed a double.
This defeat (first of the City at home in 2019), coupled with the agonizing victory of Liverpool on Saturday against Leicester City, causes Guardiola to remain eight points away from those of Jürgen Klopp in eight contested days. A gap that complicates the possibility of winning the third consecutive Premier title. On the other hand, those of Nuno Espirito Santo are slowly recovering from their horrible start of the campaign and are eleventh, with ten points.
