The match at the Molineux Stadium in the city of Wolverhampton, refereed by Anthony Taylor, was quickly resolved by Jack Grealish, at minute, and the Norwegian, who made it 2-0 at 15m. with a low shot from outside the area. The third and last came in the second half by Philip Foden (68m).
Haaland, who arrived at City this season, scored his eleventh Premier League goal and comfortably leads the scorers’ table with a five-ahead lead over Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitrovic of Serbia.
The 22-year-old Scandinavian footballer has scored on six of the seven dates played so far (last day was suspended due to the death of Elizabeth II).
The match began after the ceremony with flower tributes, a minute’s silence and the singing of the UK’s patriotic song “God Save the King”. In just seconds, City found themselves 1-0 with a left-footed shot from Grealish, after a cross from Belgian Kevin De Bruyne.
Possession of the ball (61 to 39% in the first half) by Pep Guardiola’s City and Wolverhampton’s defensive shortcomings gave rise to a 2-0 draw that was finalized by Haaland with a low right that beat Portuguese José Sá.
Nothing went well for the local since at 32 minutes Taylor expelled the Irishman Nathan Collins who in a reckless action, with excessive use of force, hit Grealish in the belly.
With a 2-0 and one more man, City regulated their forces taking into account that they had played during the week against the German Borussia Dortmund for the Champions League.
The 3-0 came through Foden after a very good combination between De Bruyne and Haaland, in a move similar to the one that opened the scoring.
At 72 minutes, after a minute of applause with the game stopped motivated by the 70 years during which Isabel II was queen, Álvarez entered for the Portuguese Bernardo Silva.
In the minutes that he played, the former River moved constantly to find the best position in front of goal but he did not have much contact with the ball and was little enabled.
City added its 23rd game without defeat as a visitor since it has not lost since the first date of 2021/2022 against Tottenham in London.
