If there is a god of soccer, it refused to be Mathematics on Saturday as Wolves beat mighty Man City 2-1, halting their winning spree in this year’s Premiere League.
Mathematically speaking, many would not assign victory to Wolves.
If any team would punctuate City’s runs, such would believe, they could be the likes of Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal.
The table however dramatically turned as Wolves spun a surprise.
As ‘The Punch’ reports, Ruben Dias knocked a Pedro Neto cross into his own net after the Wolves winger raced through the City defence, comfortably easing past Nathan Ake.
City continually struggled to cope with Neto’s pace on the wings as Wolves applied pressure in the first half.
The visitors trailed at the break but quickly responded when Julian Alvarez curled a free-kick past Jose Sa.
But Hwang Hee-chan restored Wolves’ lead, coolly tucking home after Matheus Cunha found him unmarked in the box.
Pep Guardiola’s men remain top of the table despite defeat, but could be knocked off their perch if Liverpool beat Tottenham in Saturday’s late game.
Wolves are 13th with seven points from seven matches.
