It was a dramatic defeat for Manchester City as they surrendered two goal lead, allowing Wolves to comeback with three goals in less than 20 minutes.
City did not start off well as Ederson was sent off in the 12th minute after he raced out of his area and clipped Diogo Jota.
Martin Atkinson awarded controversial penalty backed by VAR, despite the obvious no foul on Riyad Mahrez.
Wolves keeper Rui Patricio saved Raheem Sterling’s spot kick, but the penalty had to be retaken and despite another Patricio’s excellent saves, he could not save a rebound from Sterling.
Sterling continued his brilliant performance as he doubled City’s lead early in the second half.
