Man City whip Wolves

Erling Haaland scored twice and Tijjani Reijnders shone on his Premier League debut as Manchester City started the season by thrashing Wolves at Molineux.

Reijnders joined City from AC Milan in the summer and showcased his talent by contributing to three goals in Man City’s victory.

Pep Guardiola’s side ended last season in disappointing fashion, without winning a major trophy for the first time in eight years, but started this campaign with a statement victory.

Talisman Haaland had nodded over on the stretch early on but converted from close range following Rico Lewis’ low cross.

Dutchman Reijnders was heavily involved in the opening goal and doubled City’s lead on the break just four minutes later with an unerring finish low into the bottom corner.

The game was over as a contest on the hour mark as Reijnders pulled the ball back for the onrushing Haaland to drill in an emphatic finish, while Rayan Cherki came off the bench to convert late on.
