In a contest of wild drama
Manchester City thought they had survived everything: Ederson was sent off and Raheem Sterling missed the same penalty twice but still the champions established a two-goal lead. But Wolves fought back thanks to goals by Adama Traoré, Raúl Jiménez and Matt Doherty. And with that City’s grip on the title looks even more flimsy than before.
Liverpool are 14 points ahead with a game in hand.
At a time of year when many people feel obliged to put on a front to avoid causing a scene, Pep Guardiola’s men gave a convincing impression of a side who believed in the possibility of overtaking Liverpool. If they were dispirited as they watched Jürgen Klopp’s side dismantle Leicester on Thursday, it was not obvious here.
