Man City beat Wolves: Five things we learned as Kevin De Bruyne scores four in masterclass

Chiquinho gives City a fright

It’s been a good campaign for Wolves, who have rebounded from a disappointing season last year under Bruno Lage. The Portuguese coach was absent due to Covid, but Chiquinho will have caught his eye regardless.

The 22-year-old speedster was snapped up in a £3m deal back in January and he’s starting to look like the real deal. He bagged two assists at the weekend for the hosts and was their best outlet against the champions.

After giving Oleksander Zinchenko a torrid night, the Portuguese youth international appears to be a ready made replacement for the hit-and-miss Adama Traore, who could depart the club for good in the summer.

Liverpool need a miracle

The title race between City and Liverpool looks destined to go to the final day of the season, but it’s looking more and more likely that the Reds will need a miracle to regain the Premier League crown.

There were concerns that the mental scars from City’s Champions League capitulation against Real Madrid could hamper their title hopes – but City have brushed off their European exit and steamrolled their way through two tough tests against Newcastle and Wolves.

Liverpool have matched Guardiola’s side stride for stride this season, but they were always going to relying on favours from others after they failed to beat City in their seismic showdown last month. It’s starting to feel like they need a miracle rather than a favour to pip City to the title in the coming weeks, with Guardiola’s side now needing just four points from their final two games to wrap things up.
