Manchester City’s flawless start to the Premier League season came to an abrupt halt at Molineux as Wolves secured a surprising victory, marking the champions’ first league defeat.
Despite City manager Pep Guardiola serving a touchline ban and being unable to intervene, the visitors seemed poised for success after Julian Alvarez’s brilliant free-kick equalised Ruben Dias’ early own goal. However, Wolves’ Hwang Hee-chan secured the win with a second-half goal, ending City’s 100% league record.
In another Premier League upset, Manchester United suffered a 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford. Joachim Andersen’s first-half strike secured Palace’s victory, adding to Manchester United’s struggles as they have now lost four of their opening seven league games this season. Despite recent wins in the Carabao Cup, United failed to mount a significant response in attack against Palace.
