    FT: Man City 4-1 Wolves

    That's all from me tonight.

    Three goals in a hectic final 10 minutes ensured Manchester City extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to 15 points - and their remarkable winning run to 21 matches.

    But that was only after Conor Coady's first Premier League goal had given them a bit of a scare.

    Manchester City

    Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola speaking to Match of the Day: "We were little bit anxious after 1-1 but we reacted really well after we scored the goals.

    "It was well deserved - we played really good. The games are tight and in the last minutes we win the game comfortably.

    "After 1-1, they were dangerous but we continued to take the ball and we didn’t give up and that’s a good lesson for us the little details.

    "When you see the performance we were really good. I felt this morning that we were together and we were ready to try again.

    "It’s a short calendar this season. We didn’t have one long week - there are so many games and playing Wolves with their physicality and mentality; I’m more than pleased with what we’ve done so far and we can enjoy tonight, rest and prepare for the next one."

    On Manchester City's winning record: "The record we will talk about in the future. In winter time in England it’s hell and in that time we did something incredible. It’s more than remarkable. The players have all my compliments but Liverpool have the crown. To win the Premier League we need those points."

    On facing Man Utd on Sunday: "We got better results at Old Trafford than here [in the past]. We have one or two days to rest and I realise how strong they are. It’s an incredible opportunity to make a huge step and we are going to try."

  5. 'City punished us'published at 22:21 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March 2021

    FT: Man City 4-1 Wolves

    Wolverhampton Wanderers

    Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo speaking to Match of the Day: "First half we were organised but no fight, there was a lot of possession from City. Second half we had more pressing, were higher up the pitch and creating threats in our possession - which we sustained for a spell of the game. The boys were solid and compact.

    "The game went by but we were not able to sustain this and we got punished.

    "We felt that we were on the front foot in the second half but after we equalised the reaction was not to sustain [the momentum] but we faced a very good opponent.

    "The plan didn't work for so long but we faced a very good opponent and had good lines of possession. Your task is harder when City have the advantage. The boys did well, there is no perfect plan ever in the game but we were facing a team with a very good plan also.

    "We must look at the game because we made a couple of mistakes under the pressure of City and they are very dangerous and they will punish you.

    "City are very talented, amazing players, amazing manager. All the other teams that come here find it difficult because they are a good opponent."

    Manchester City

    Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola speaking to BT Sport: "We were fantastic. After 1-1 we suffered but we created lots of chances in the end."

    On winning 21 games in a row: "Manchester United. That's all we care [about now]. The champions are Liverpool, the crown belongs to them. We are in the best posiition right now to take them out and we are going to try but they are the champions.

    "There are 33 points to play for. Tomorrow our opponents will play, we have one or two days off and prepare for Manchester United at home."

  8. 'We're gutted'published at 22:08 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March 2021

    FT: Man City 4-1 Wolves

    Wolves

    Wolves goalscorer Conor Coady speaking to BT Sport: "It was about staying in the game. We know what a good team they are. That was our way of going about it. You go 1-0 down and it's about staying in the game. We can't let the game get away from us like it did. We're gutted.

    "No one is frightened about being on a football poitch. They're world class but we wanted to test ourselves. It was about staying in there and I thought we played some really good stuff. It's disappointing from our point of view."

    On scoring his first Premier League goal: "It means nothing when you lose. It was nice at the time because it made it 1-1 but we needed to kick on a little bit. To score is great but it doesn't mean anything when you lose."

    Manchester City goalscorer Riyad Mahrez speaking to BT Sport: "It was a tough game. We started very, very good and we created chances.

    "We could've killed the game in the first half - second half was a bit more difficult but we still created chances and then we finished very good. We kept going and kept pressing.

    "Sometimes you can have the ball for 90% of the time and you don't kill the game. The last 10 minutes were so good. We scored and we finished the game strong and we are very happy.

    "We have to play game by game. The next game is Manchester United and we need to stay focused to try to win this game.

    "It's difficult sometimes when we change six or seven players but every player is so good and everybody makes their contributions."

    That finishes it but Owen Otasowie has just come on the pitch and you can't help but feel sorry for him. Wolves have been caught in and around the penalty area so many times tonight and the first time he gets the ball, he loses it and two passes later, it's a cool, calm finish by Riyad Mahrez.

    It's going to be 21 consecutive wins for Manchester City!

    Owen Otasowie has only just joined the action but he's robbed of possession on the edge of his penalty area.

    Ilkay Gundogan tries to tee up Raheem Sterling, but he's tackled and Riyad Mahrez buries the loose ball to put the result beyond doubt.
