Manchester City have rarely enjoyed trips to Molineux in recent years and the tone was set back in 2018 when Wolves have just been promoted to the Premier League.

With the home fans keen for a scalp and a team not used to losing taking it to the champions, Joao Moutinho swung in a second-half cross that Willy Boly turned in for the opening goal.

That he had turned it in was not up for debate, but City were furious with how he had turned it in. If it looked like it came off his arm, it is because it had.

City wanted handball, but in addition to it being missed by the officials there were some who believed it would have counted anyway.
