Arsenal has 50 points from 22 matches, while City has 46 from 23 matches.

Arsenal will play against Manchester United at the Emirates tomorrow night. If they lose points in this important match, Arsenal’s title dream will suffer a big blow. Today’s victory also brought a lot of relief to City. With this match, City saw its first win in the league in 2026. The Etihad club had previously played 3 draws and 1 loss in four matches.

City, who played well throughout the match at home, did not give their opponent Wolves much of a chance. The hosts showed dominance in possession, attack and creating chances. City, who had 66 percent possession in the match, had 4 shots on target with 11.

On the other hand, Wolves, who had 36 percent possession, managed to put only one shot on target with 8 shots. Omar Marmoush gave City the lead in the 6th minute of the match. This was Marmoush’s eighth goal in a City jersey. All of the Egyptian forward’s goals for City have come at the Etihad.

After taking the lead through Marmoush’s goal, City took control of the match. They continued to do so in first-half stoppage time. Anthony Semeno, who joined the team in January, scored with a great finish after receiving the ball inside the box.

This was Semeno’s third goal in his fourth match in a City jersey. These two goals in the first half essentially laid the foundation for City’s victory. Despite not scoring any more goals in the second half, they eventually left the field with a 2-0 win.
