"Manchester City reduced the gap behind Arsenal to four points as they returned to winning ways with a 2-0 win over bottom-side Wolves. City suffered successive defeats to Manchester United and Bodo/Glimt prior to the game but first-half goals from Omar Marmoush and Antoine Semenyo ensured they won their first game of 2026, with Marc Guehi also making his first start for the club."
"Pep Guardiola's decision to select Marmoush ahead of Erling Haaland up front was quickly vindicared early on when the Egyptian volleyed in the opener on six minutes after a lovely Matheus Nunes delivery. Rayan Cherki should probably have made it two shortly after but the midfielder blasted his shot over the bar. The lively Marmoush then struck the post with another effort, with the chance prompting a VAR check after the ball bounced off Yerson Mosquera's arm but no penalty was given."
"After scoring his third goal for the club in just his fourth appearance since moving from Bournemouth, Semenyo was inches away from getting another when he crashed an effort off the crossbar, before Yerson Mosquera hit the woodwork himself late on as the strugglers look to avoid their first defeat in five games. But City managed to see out the game and are now four points behind Arsenal in the Premier League title race, with the Gunners hosting Manchester United on Sunday."
Manchester City beat bottom-side Wolves 2-0 at the Etihad to reduce their deficit to Arsenal to four points. Omar Marmoush opened the scoring with a sixth-minute volley from a Matheus Nunes delivery. Rayan Cherki wasted a chance and Marmoush later struck the post, prompting a VAR check after the ball hit Yerson Mosquera's arm but no penalty was given. Antoine Semenyo doubled the lead just before half-time, his third goal for the club and first in the Premier League since his £65million move from Bournemouth. Wolves hit the woodwork late, but City held on.
