No seventh heaven as City hold off Wolves

KEVIN De Bruyne marked his penultimate home game for Manchester City with a goal as they edged out Wolves 1-0 to move a step closer to securing Champions League football next term.

De Bruyne continued his farewell run before his contract expires this summer by striking in the 35th minute, his 250th goal involvement under Pep Guardiola.

Wolves for one will not miss the Belgian, as 11 of those have come in his last 10 appearances against them.

De Bruyne has one more chance to grace the Etihad when City host Bournemouth on May 20.

Victory last night made it five in a row for City for only the second time this season, moving them third before the rest of the weekend's action and four points clear of sixth-placed Nottingham Forest in the fight for a topfive finish.

Wolves had travelled up the M6 on a six-game winning run, looking to make it seven in a row in the top flight for the first time since 1946, but were frustrated on a night when both Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri struck the post.
