Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-2 Manchester City: Nuno's side seal late win against 10 men

Published on: 27 December 2019

Manchester City's defeat means they remain 14 points behind leaders Liverpool

Wolves fought back from 2-0 down against 10-man Manchester City with two late goals to complete a memorable Premier League double over the champions.

City lost keeper Ederson to a red card after 12 minutes, but they led 2-0 through two Raheem Sterling goals. He struck in the first half from a penalty rebound - after both the spot-kick and its retake were ordered controversially by the video assistant referee - and scored again after the break with a deft finish.

Wolves' Adama Traore set up a tense finish by drilling in from 20 yards.

The hosts continued to dominate and finally levelled through Raul Jimenez before Matt Doherty fired in a winner.
