Manchester City finally brought an end to a frustrating Premier League run in January, seeing off Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 to close the gap on leaders Arsenal to four points, at least for the time being, Softfootball reports.
Pep Guardiola's side came into the contest under real pressure. City had failed to win any of their league matches this month, with the most painful blow coming last weekend at Old Trafford , where they fell to rivals Manchester United. Matters were compounded in midweek by a bruising European night, as City were beaten 3-1 by Bodo/Glimt , becoming the first English club to lose to the Norwegian outfit in Europe.
Against a Wolves side rooted to the foot of the table, City knew a response was non-negotiable, and they delivered one early on. Inside six minutes, former Wolves midfielder Matheus Nunes curled a dangerous delivery into the box, and Omar Marmoush reacted quickest to poke home and settle the nerves around the Etihad.
