Manchester City moved to the top of the table with a convincing win against Wolves, as they beat the Wolves by three goals. You can watch LaLiga, Bundesliga, MLS, more on the US version of the network. Jack Grealish took just 55 seconds to open the scoring as he latched on to a Kevin De Bruyne cross to poke home in the box, before Erling Haaland netted his 11th premier league goal in seven games. On the 33rd minute, Wolves were reduced to 10 men as Nathan Collins jumped for a loose ball and caught Grealish in the midriff with his studs, receiving a straight red card. After the break, the game was tighter, but City strolled their way to all three points thanks to Phil Foden's goal. Player ratings, best and worst performers, highlights and notable moments, post match quotes, and key statistics are included in the jump. This is the first thing. Again, Haaland does it. One day, City's opponents will be happy to keep the score under 10. When Wolves were 2-0 down and a man down at the start of the second half, the home fans were worried about the worst. After 55 seconds, Grealish had opened the scoring and before Haaland got his goal, he ran at Max Kilman and shot low. Haaland has 14 goals in 10 games and has scored in each of his last seven appearances. The Norway international is the first player in the history of the premier league to score in their first four away games. The 22-year-old will probably feel he could have had more, especially after Collins was sent off for an ugly-looking challenge on Grealish, but in the second half the team seemed content with running down the clock. Wolves felt they did well to limit the damage on a day that could have ended in acrimony. There are two Grealish silenced his detractors with a goal. At his news conference on Friday, it was almost as if he was predicting the future. The City manager told Grealish that he wasn't going to worry about the criticism he's received. He said that it did not matter. You have three more days to be happy and do what you want. It took just 55 seconds for Grealish to score his first goal of the season, putting City up by one. There were questions in the build-up to the game about whether Grealish would even start, having struggled for form so far this season, but the decision to keep him in was the correct one. After the debate surrounding his place this week, he will be happy to get off, because he doesn't pick Grealish because he rack up big numbers of goals and assists. There are three. The Wolves shot themselves in the foot. Wolves have scored the lowest number of goals in the league so far this season, but they have the best defensive record. If your ability to pick up points is based on keeping it tight at the back, then you need to make sure that one of your centre-backs is sent off before the half-time break. It was always going to be a difficult day against Man City and Haaland, but Wolves didn't help themselves either. City's fans chanted "Erling Haaland, he's scored more than you" as they cheered on their champion, despite the fact that they were one of the toughest opponents. The Haaland 11-3 Wolves are off to a great start. Bruno Lage did a good job at Wolves last season, but he needs to get his team scoring soon if he wants to avoid being sacked. Lage will need to get Costa up to speed quickly after he was left out of the squad for the City game. The Wolves lost to Man City in the premier league table. Wolves: Sa 5, Ait-Nouri 6, Collins 4, Kilman 5, Moutinho 6, Neto 6, Guedes 6, Podence 5 The subs are Traore, Hwang, and Campbell. Ederson, Stones, Cancelo, Dias, Akanji, Rodri, De Bruyne, Silva, Grealish, Foden, Haaland, and the rest are from Man City. There are 6 subs: Gundogan, Alvarez, Mahren, Palmer, and Gomez. Jack Grealish was the best player on the day, even though he was under pressure at Wolves after criticism this week. The decision by Nathan Collins to spear Grealish at waist height was ridiculous. Any chance of Wolves getting something out of the game was gone after the red card. It took 55 seconds for City to get the lead.

Haaland has been performing well in front of the goal. He ran at defenders and scored with his right foot.
If Erling Haaland carries on scoring at this rate, he will finish the Premier League season with 57 goals ๐คฏ pic.twitter.com/QU9yL1sEpa

Wolves were reduced to 10 men as Collins was sent off for a high challenge on Grealish that evoked memories of the 2010 World Cup final between the Netherlands and Spain.

After Foden's goal made the game safe, the game was paused for a moment of applause to honor Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away last week.
Bruno Lage said that it went wrong in the first minute. It is hard to take when a team scores in the first minute. They scored in a transition after the first two goals. It's not about NathanCollins. I saw a situation like that yesterday in the Villa game against the Saints, but nothing happened, today it was a red card.
The game started well for us with the two goals and the red card, they can keep the ball and transitions are fast, it was an incredible victory." A lot of credit to Wolves, we struggled a lot after the break.
It was great to get off the mark. People have been asking if I should be scoring more and getting more helpers. I haven't scored enough goals in my career, but I will always have people talking about me, even though I haven't scored in a long time. I would like to include that in my game. When he defends me, it's nice. He has been 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- He gave me the chance today because it probably wasn't the best, so I have to thank him. I'm grateful to him.
Man City have scored nine goals in the first minute of a match.
Kevin De Bruyne has at least one assist in five of the seven games he has played this season. He has been directly involved in more goals at Wolves than anyone else.
Six assists is more than any other player in the league. He had his first multi- assist match in a long time.
Erling Haaland is the first player to score in his first four away games in the premier league In 10 matches this season, Haaland has 14 goals and only failed to score in two matches.
Since leaving FC Salzburg, Haaland has scored 100 goals in 99 games.
For the most consecutive games with a goal for Man City since 1992, Haaland and Aguero are tied.
In their last 22 away league matches, City have a record of 16 wins, 6 losses and 2 draws. They lost their first match of the season against Spurs.
Since the start of last season, City have put in 11 wins in a row, breaking a tie with Chelsea for most in that time.
On October 1, Bruno Lage's team travels to east London to take on West Ham. It will be difficult to face a trip to CHELSEA. Things will not be easy.
The international break will give Man City time to prepare for the derby with Manchester United. Expect more goals for Haaland as they play their next three games at home.
