It says much for Wolverhampton Wanderers that the last time Manchester City endured a match as frustrating as this away from home in the Premier League was in February. Pep Guardiola’s side had racked up seven successive top flight wins on their travels since drawing at Burnley six months ago but Wolves were in no mood to roll over just because the Premier League champions were in town.
Nuno Espírito Santo’s side played with tremendous energy, belief and courage, and deserved a point that was celebrated like a victory at the final whistle. There was a slice of good fortune with Willy Boly’s goal, which went in off the central defender’s arm, but it was hard to begrudge Wolves that bit of luck on a day when they caused City plenty of problems with some superb counterattacking.
