City cruise with Haaland hat-trick

Jack Grealish, Erling Haaland and Phil Foden on target

Wolves beaten 3-0 away from home

Manchester City returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Wolves at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening.

Pep Guardiola's side were frustrated by Wolves' deep defence in the first half, but they eventually broke the deadlock through Jack Grealish's close-range finish just before the break.

Erling Haaland doubled City's lead early in the second half with a powerful header, and the Norwegian striker completed his hat-trick with a fine solo effort in the closing stages.

The win takes City back to the top of the Premier League table, level on points with Arsenal but with a superior goal difference.
