Rayan Cherki produced a stunning goal and Tijjani Reijnders was the hero as Man City defeated Wolves 4-0 at Molineux to get off to a winning start in the Premier League. Prior to joining City in a £46.3 million transfer from AC Milan this summer, Dutchman Reijnders was named Serie A midfielder of the year. He showed his class on his debut Premier League appearance, demonstrating that Pep Guardiola's team is ready to compete for the championship.
There was neat footwork from Reijnders before a wonderful, lofted pass for Rico Lewis to tee up Erling Haaland for a simple opener on 34 minutes. He then followed that up moments later with a brilliant finish himself, arrowing the ball into the far corner with a first-time shot with his weaker left foot.
