Player Ratings

Ederson – 7.5

The Brazilian made a good save in the first half to prevent the game getting away from City, which allowed the blues to get back into the contest in the first half.

Rico Lewis – 7

Praise has been aplenty for Rico this season, but it wasn’t one of his best outings on Sunday, in a somewhat underwhelming display from the defender.

John Stones – 7.5

Stones will have to take partial blame for the Wolves goal, but who cares about that. 90+5, Johnny Stones; sound familiar?

Ruben Dias – 6.5

Dias likewise could have done better to stop the Wolves attack, not committing to the challenge which would’ve stopped the cross coming in for the opener.

Josko Gvardiol – 8.5 (MOTM)

Make no mistake about it, Josko Gvardiol is one of the best defenders in the world, and his goal and performance reflected exactly that against Wolves. An absolute colossus at both ends of the pitch for the blues.

Mateo Kovacic – 7.5

The injury to Rodri earlier this season has left a gaping hole in the midfield of City, but it doesn’t mean his successor has played poorly. Another fine display in midfield by the Croatian.

Ilkay Gundogan – 7

Life back in England may not have been what he quite dreamed of upon his return from Barcelona this summer, but the German probably didn’t anticipate seeing this much action given the injury to Rodrigo.

Bernardo Silva – 7

Popped up in good areas but couldn’t quite click into gear. Silva was involved in the centre of the “controversy” surrounding City’s late winner.

Savinho – 6

Worked hard but ultimately failed to deliver anything going forward, a poor performance from the winger on Sunday as he was replaced by Jack Grealish.

Erling Haaland – 6.5

An afternoon Haaland will want to forget this one. Invisible for large parts of the game.

Jeremy Doku – 7

Gave the fullbacks on both flanks a headache in each half before being replaced by Phil Foden after 65 minutes.

Substitutes:

Phil Foden – 6.5

Largely ineffective upon arrival, but did manage to grab an assist from the corner for City’s second goal.

Jack Grealish – 7

A solid display from Grealish off the bench in this one, after replacing Savinho late in the second half.

Matheus Nunes – 7

Purely for winding the home crowd up following his introduction.

Player Ratings

Ederson: Another big save, this time when City were 1-0 down, that helped his team to earn a point. 7

Lewis: Caught in no man's land as Larsen stroked in the opening goal. Pushed forwards regularly but was unable to make the difference. 6

Dias: A few wayward passes aside, it was a decent performance and he nearly made himself the hero with a low effort that Sa tipped wide. 7

Stones: A board for City to bounce passes off, he was also culpable for the goal conceded and annoyed Guardiola with some decisions but netted late winner. 7

Gvardiol: The goal came down his side but he stepped up to level the game with a fantastic effort, and made plenty of excellent defensive contributions. 8

Kovacic: Still (understandably) doesn't seem to give the team the same control as the world-class Rodri, although he improved as the game went on. 6

Gundogan: Some nice passes and off-the-ball runs but there wasn't enough connection with Haaland to say he was closest on the pitch to him. 6

Silva: Very effective wherever he ended up, doing the running but also producing a goal threat that kept Wolves troubled. 7

Savinho: One of City's brightest, offering a threat in attack and doing excellent work defensively. His finishing could have been better though. 7

Doku: Earned his spot after a fine goal against Fulham but made too many poor decisions on both flanks despite a lot of the ball. 5

Haaland: A fruitless day where he saw little of the ball, but on the handful of occasions it did come his way he wasn't at his sharpest. 5

Substitutes

Fodn (for Doku, 66) Struggled to get involved. 6

Grealish (for Savinho, 73) Little impact. 6

Nunes (for Kovacic, 86) Crucial tackle and shot at the end. 7

Ederson (5/10):

Didn't command his box well for the goal, but made himself big to thwart Semedo from making 2-0.

Rico Lewis (5/10):

A rare difficult afternoon for the teenager, who couldn't influence the game as he liked and lacked awareness in defence.

Ruben Dias (5/10):

Passive for the goal and out of position when Semedo came haring in behind.

John Stones (7/10):

Moved ball around well to keep Wolves on their toes and delivered the fatal blow at the death.

Josko Gvardiol (7/10):

How does he keep scoring these absurd goals? Strong in attack and made a big contribution defensively by jockeying Semedo and putting him off.

Bernardo Silva (6/10):

Had a big influence throughout with his seamless passing.

Mateo Kovacic (6/10):

Gave City control and was tidy in possession, but Rodri he is not.

Ilkay Gundogan (5/10):

City's creative engine but his passing was not incisive enough.

Savinho (5/10):

Some nice flashes but kept on being let down by final pass or shooting. Tested Sa from long-range. Booked in first half.

Erling Haaland (3/10):

Surprisingly anonymous given his record eight goals against Wolves. Took very few touches and had no shots. Shown up by compatriot Strand Larsen.

Jeremy Doku (5/10):

A twisting run nearly led to a goal but he kept on taking wild shots, to the anger of Guardiola, who hooked him on 66 minutes.

Subs & Manager

Phil Foden (6/10)

Swung in the corner from which Stones struck.

Jack Grealish (7/10):

Gave City more penetration down the flank.

Matheus Nunes (N/A):

Booed heavily by his former supporters, but won the corner which lead to the breakthrough goal.

Pep Guardiola (6/10):

It wasn't the best performance but his side kept on probing and his changes helped them snatch victory.

GK: Ederson - 6/10 - Made an impressive save to deny Wolves a second in the first period and was largely untested during the rest of the encounter.

RB: Rico Lewis - 7/10 - Stepped into midfield regularly from right-back and helped orchestrate Man City's attacks in tight spaces with some neat passes.

CB: John Stones - 7/10 - Couldn't get close enough to Strand Larsen as Wolves went ahead but redeemed himself with the winning goal in injury time.

CB: Ruben Dias - 6/10 - Very rarely had to step out of second gear but will be frustrated with the sluggish defending that allowed Wolves the early lead.

LB: Josko Gvardiol - 8/10 - Man City's free-scoring left-back has returned and he produced a stunner from outside the box at Molineux. Offered plenty of promise on the overlap throughout.

DM: Mateo Kovacic - 7/10 - Made some characteristically powerful runs from deep and was tidy when receiving the ball in the final third.

DM: Ilkay Gundogan - 7/10 - Took up some nice positions in the final third and showed his class with the occasional moment of ingenuity.

RW: Savinho - 6/10 - Incredibly bright in the opening 20 minutes but his influence waned as the game wore on. Similarly to his teammates, he lacked cutting edge in the key moments.

AM: Bernardo Silva - 6/10 - Saw plenty of the ball as he floated across the front line but seldom caught the eye in possession.

LW: Jeremy Doku - 6/10 - As is so often the case with Doku, driving runs and electric pace was rarely followed by end product. Another slightly frustrating performance from the fleet-footed Belgian.

ST: Erling Haaland - 4/10 - Anonymous from the first minute to the last and was overshadowed by his Norwegian compatriot in gold. Man City needed more from him against a Wolves backline that has struggled this season.

Substitutes

SUB: Phil Foden (66' for Doku) - 7/10

SUB: Jack Grealish (73' for Savinho) - 6/10

Manager

Pep Guardiola - 5/10 - More question marks raised following another underwhelming performance without Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne. Fortunate to come away with victory.




SUB: Matheus Nunes (86' for Kovacic) - N/A
