City Dominates Wolves in Premier League Opener
Manchester City opened the Premier League season with a 4-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux. Erling Haaland scored twice and Tijjani Reijnders added a superb display, with Oscar Bobb also catching the eye on the right wing. City capitalised on an early Wolves offside call and moved ahead with two goals in three minutes before half-time, then extended the lead after the break as Haaland struck again and Reijnders helped setup Cherki for a late fourth.
City’s new and existing attacking options played key roles, with Bobb showing pace and decision making on the flank and Reijnders delivering a calm, clever approach in midfield. The result also featured a tribute to Diogo Jota before kickoff, underscoring the season’s emotional undercurrents as City began with purpose and depth across the pitch.
Key Takeaways
"He brought everything Pep Guardiola demands from his wingers."
Observation of Bobb's impact on the wing
"Not a bad first day at the new office."
Reijnders' Premier League debut impact
"There is a delicacy and flow to the way he dribbles that makes him so hard to read."
Bobb's dribbling ability
"He also scored a beautifully taken goal to make it 2-0 and then cut the ball back for Haaland to notch his third."
Reijnders' contributions
Bobb’s Premier League debut hints at a breakout season and gives Guardiola a broader toolkit on the right flank. His combination of speed and restraint allows City to press higher without losing control of build‑up play. Reijnders added a composed counterpoint, mixing a Iniesta‑like touch with dangerous runs that unlocked Wolves on the break. Together they illustrate City’s evolving balance between youth and experience, which could help them manage a crowded fixture list.
The first half exposed a few fragilities in City’s ball security in transition, a reminder that the team still must integrate Marmoush and Cherki into a fluid XI alongside Phil Foden. Yet Stones and Dias looked solid at the back, and Trafford’s calm in goal brought a sense of steadiness. If Guardiola can harmonise these elements, City could push deeper into multiple competitions this season while keeping a firm baseline of control.
Highlights
- Bobb showed the tempo Guardiola demands from his wingers.
- Not a bad first day at the new office.
- There is a delicacy and flow to the way he dribbles that makes him so hard to read.
- He took his time before picking the perfect weight of pass to Reijnders.
The opening signs are positive, and City look ready to challenge on multiple fronts this season.
