Vitor Pereira must simply drop £16m Wolves struggler who completed just seven passes vs Man City
Wolves experienced their first Premier League defeat since the end of February as Manchester City secured a 1-0 victory at the Etihad.
Wolves went into the clash on a six-match winning run but couldn’t continue that on Friday evening as they were punished for missing some golden opportunities.
Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, who replaced the injured Jorgen Strand Larsen, overhit his pass to Marshall Munetsi after being sent clean through on goal, while Rayan Ait-Nouri struck the post in the first half.
Predictably, Vitor Pereira’s side were made to pay for their missed chances as Kevin De Bruyne’s well-taken finish proved to be the winner.
It was a game that saw Emmanuel Agbadou produce another phenomenal performance despite defeat, whereas his former Stade Reims teammate Munetsi didn’t cover himself in glory.

When the team sheet was named ahead of kick off, Munetsi lined up in attack alongside Bellegarde and Matheus Cunha, taking his place on the right channel.
The 28-year-old is known for his aggressive pressing off the ball and the pressure he applies to opponents, which is desired against a world-class team.
However, Wolves fans were frustrated at Munetsi against City, as his hard work out of possession wasn’t complemented by any useful passages of play, instead cutting a disconsolate figure.
