Manchester City Edge Past Wolves to Boost Champions League Hopes
MATCH REPORT: Manchester City secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers today, May 2, 2025, at the Etihad Stadium.
The decisive moment came in the 35th minute, when Kevin De Bruyne fired home from a brilliant assist by Jeremy Doku. This goal marked De Bruyne’s 250th goal contribution under manager Pep Guardiola — a milestone only Lionel Messi has previously reached with Pep.
Despite dominating possession, City faced strong resistance from Wolves, who hit the woodwork twice and kept the pressure on until the final whistle. The result lifts City into third place in the Premier League, strengthening their push for Champions League qualification.
Notably, several empty seats at the Etihad reflected ongoing fan protests over ticket prices, creating a quieter atmosphere than usual.
Next up, Manchester City travel to face Southampton on May 10 as they look to secure their top-four finish.
