Haaland double fires City to thumping victory over Wolves

Manchester City signalled their intent to take back the Premier League title as Erling Haaland struck twice in a 4-0 win at Wolves on Saturday to begin their campaign.

After four consecutive titles, City finished a distant third last season as Pep Guardiola’s men failed to win any trophy for the first time in eight years.

New signings Tijjani Reijnders, who was the star of the show at Molineux, and Rayan Cherki were also on target to give Guardiola hope his side will be back in the title race this season.

Guardiola made a bold call amid ongoing uncertainty over City’s goalkeeping situation.

James Trafford made his first senior appearance for the club after returning for a second spell at the Etihad from Burnley.
