Manchester City 3-0 Wolverhampton – Tactical Analysis

Manchester City

1-0

Manchester City beat Wolverhampton in a great game by Haaland, who scored a hattrick. Let’s analyze the first goal, in which Rodri has the ball without being pressed by any Wolverhampton player, allowing him to see Mahrez and give him the long pass.

The left back, Bueno, comes out to defend Mahrez. Nunes, who arrives from midfield decides to try to make a 2vs1 leaving De Bruyne free. Bad decision as he doesn’t block the passing line to Kevin.

De Bruyne receives the pass and Haaland has enough distance from the defense to run without being stopped.

Haaland gains speed and wins the aerial duel vs Collins, scoring the goal. Good game from Manchester City.
