Manchester City suffered another hammer blow in their bid to keep the Premier League title race alive with a 3-2 defeat to Wolves, making unwanted history for Pep Guardiola in the process.
City missed the chance to close the gap to leaders Liverpool to 11 points as Guardiola s side, reduced to 10 men following Ederson s dismissal after 12 minutes, threw away a 2-0 lead.
The defending champions had only 37.8 per cent of possession at Molineux – the lowest recorded by a Guardiola-led side in top-flight history.
Wolves thrilling win also saw them become just the second team to do the league double over City since Guardiola took over in 2016, with Antonio Conte s Chelsea the only other outfit to achieve the feat in the Catalan s first season in charge.
Additionally, it was Wolves first double over City since the 1999-2000 campaign, when both were in the second tier, and their first in the top tier since 1960-61.
With Wolves now serious contenders for a top-four finish, City have a fight on their hands just to finish as runners-up.
