In a stark demonstration of on-pitch dominance, Manchester City thrashed Wolverhampton Wanderers 5-1 on May 4th, 2024, at Etihad Stadium in Premier League action.

The clear man of the match was Erling Braut Haaland, who, with four goals - two set up via penalty kicks and one assisted by Rodri, and another crafted by Phil Foden were the deciding factors underpinning this victory. In addition to Haaland's striking prowess, Julian Alvarez also added to the score sheet, confirming City's overwhelming presence with a goal set up by Rodri, which was his second assist of the match.

Discipline proved to be a nightmare for Wanderers as they racked up four yellow cards with Nelson Semedo, Mario Lemina, Boubacar Traore, and Joao Gomes all booked. Meanwhile, Manchester City maintained their composure throughout the match, not receiving a single yellow card.

The number of shots also strongly underlines the narrative of the match. Manchester City took an astonishing 37 shots, with 12 on target and the remaining 25 missing the net. Wolverhampton, on the other hand, could only manage 8 total shots, with a single one hitting the target (which resulted in their only goal, scored by Hee-chan Hwang).

Consistently controlling the play, Manchester City led the corner kicks count 6-0, forcefully pressing the issue in the Wolverhampton defensive half. The off-sides were in equilibrium though, both teams caught offside twice.

The foul count also stood noticeably lopsided. The home side committed 4 fouls, while a frustrated Wolverhampton side committed 17, again underlining their defensive troubles and contributing to their overall discipline issues.

Meticulous attacking play and composure by Manchester City, coupled with ill-discipline and defensive inefficacy from Wolverhampton Wanderers, tells the tale of a match that was unequivocally determined by the Manchester side's dominance. Manchester City's ability to consistently create scoring opportunities, as exemplified by their whopping 37 shot attempts and six corners, proved to be the decisive statistical factor in their commanding victory.
