Reijnders Shines As Man City Start Season With Wolves Rout
Manchester City started the English Premier League season with a commanding 4-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux. Erling Haaland opened the scoring in the 32nd minute, with debutant Tijjani Reijnders doubling the lead just three minutes later.
Reijnders, who signed from AC Milan in July, impressed with a goal and two assists in his first league appearance for City. Pep Guardiola praised Reijnders for his understanding of space and timing.
Rayan Cherki, another summer arrival, also made an impact off the bench. City controlled the midfield with 68% possession and kept a clean sheet, with John Stones and Manuel Akanji neutralizing Wolves' attacking threat.
The victory sends an early statement to rivals as City tops the table on goal difference. Wolves, on the other hand, must regroup quickly after a disheartening start to the campaign.
