FOOTBALL – CAPTAIN Kevin De Bruyne scored in his penultimate game at Etihad Stadium as Manchester City beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 yesterday to climb to third in the Premier League and boost their chances of Champions League qualification.
Pep Guardiola’s men provisionally climbed one spot with 64 points after 35 games, two points ahead of fourth-placed Newcastle and four points ahead of both Chelsea and Nottingham Forest, who all have a game in hand. Wolves, who saw their remarkable run of six successive victories end, are 13th.
Wolves had the better chances in a nervy first-half before City broke the deadlock in the 35th minute when Jeremy Doku cut the ball back sharply from the left-hand side to De Bruyne who side-footed it home past Jose Sa.
