Sunday's Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium came just three days after Chelsea parted company with Maresca in a shock move. While Liam Rosenior is reportedly a frontrunner to take charge, Calum McFarlane was tasked with overseeing the trip to face City, who were aiming to close the gap on leaders Arsenal. Instead, City are now six points back from the Gunners after Fernandez bundled home in the 94th minute.
Wolves claimed a long-awaited Premier League victory with a commanding 3-0 win over West Ham at Molineux, ending their winless run in emphatic fashion. The damage was done in an impressive first-half display from the hosts. Jhon Arias opened the scoring inside four minutes, steering home from close range after a well-worked move involving Mateus Mane and Hee-Chan Hwang. Wolves doubled their advantage midway through the half when Hwang calmly converted from the penalty spot following a foul on Mane.
Attention in the Premier League turns to the battle for survival, with all of the bottom three in action at 3pm (GMT). Wolves are still looking for their first win of the season and host West Ham, who are four points from safety. Burnley, six points adrift of 17th, visit a Brighton side who are without a win in six.
