Manchester
City no dio lugar a la sorpresa y le ganó a Wolverhampton en el Molineux
Stadium.
Después de
tomarse un descanso en la primera jornada, Manchester City consumó su debut en
la temporada 2020/21 de la Premier League. Los de Pep Guardiola visitaron a
Wolverhampton en el Molineux Stadium y superaron, sin problemas, una difícil
prueba que se les presentó en el nuevo año deportivo.
Durante el
comienzo del encuentro, los conducidos por Nuno Espírito Santo intentaron
jugarle de igual a igual al último subcampeón de Inglaterra pero no aguantaron.
Y es que, a los 20 minutos, Kevin De Bruyne fabricó una infracción dentro del
área de los locales y fue el encargado de ejecutar el disparo de penal.
Sin ponerse
nervioso, el belga se paró frente a Rui Patrício, abrió el pie y colocó su
remate junto al palo derecho del portero del conjunto de West Midlands. Pero
eso no iba a ser todo, porque los Ciudadanos llegaron al 2-0 antes de entrar en
el descanso gracias a un gol que firmó Phil Foden.
A los 32 minutos,
y tras un jugada excepcional con el sello de Guardiola, el joven centrocampista
ofensivo británico solamente tuvo que empujar la pelota con el arco vacío para
arrimar la victoria. En el complemento, Wolves llegó al descuento gracias a
Raúl Jiménez pero no alcanzó porque Gabriel Jesús puso 3-1 definitivo sobre el
tiempo de descuento.
Con este
resultado, los locales perdieron la posibilidad de seguir por el camino de la
victoria, mientras que Manchester City dio un paso importante. Sumó sus
primeros tres puntos en la tabla de la Premier League y aún deben un encuentro
contra Aston Villa correspondiente a la primera fecha.
