Manchester City kicked off the season with a resounding 4-0 victory over Wolves at Molineux, with Erling Haaland scoring twice and Tijjani Reijnders impressing on his Premier League debut.
Reijnders, a box-to-box midfielder signed from AC Milan in the summer, made a significant impact, contributing to three goals in City’s dominant display. He was instrumental in the opening goal, which Haaland nodded home from close range, and then doubled City’s lead with a precise finish just four minutes later.
Haaland sealed his brace on the hour mark, drilling home a pass from Reijnders, while Rayan Cherki added a late fourth goal. Despite Wolves’ efforts, City’s defense held strong, with goalkeeper James Trafford making a confident debut in the absence of Ederson.
The win marked a strong start to the season for Pep Guardiola’s side, who ended last campaign without a major trophy for the first time in eight years. Reijnders’ debut performance was a highlight, showcasing his talent and energy in midfield.
