Manchester City 5 Wolves 1 - Highlights
Haaland hits four as Man City keep title pressure on leaders Arsenal
Erling Haaland scored four times as Manchester City thrashed Wolves 5-1 to move within one point of Arsenal after the Premier League leaders beat Bournemouth 3-0 on Saturday.
City responded to Arsenal's victory just hours earlier with a goal blitz at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola's side took the lead in the 12th minute when Rayan Ait-Nouri clattered into Josko Gvardiol, conceding a penalty that Haaland stroked past Jose Sa.
Haaland bagged City's second in the 35th minute as he rose highest at the far post to meet Rodri's cross with a majestic header that looped over Sa.
Deep into first half stoppage-time, Nelson Semedo tripped Haaland to give City another penalty that was drilled home by the Norway striker.
Hwang Hee-chan got one back for Wolves in the 53rd minute after a mistake by City keeper Ederson.
But Haaland, who was visibly unhappy to be substituted in the closing stages, made it 36 goals in all competitions this term less as he curled a fine finish into the far corner in the 54th minute.
Julian Alvarez's 85th minute finish capped City's sixth consecutive league win, extending their unbeaten run in the competition to 20 games.
The reigning champions, who have a game in hand on Arsenal, will clinch an unprecedented fourth successive English title if they win their last three matches.
They head to Fulham next Saturday before visiting Tottenham on May 14 and hosting West Ham five days later.
"It's three games, hopefully we win the first and the second and arrive to the third with our destiny in our own hands," Guardiola said.
Asked about Haaland's reaction to his substitution, Guardiola added: "He was frustrated with the referee. With the long balls sometimes they push him and he is pulled.
"But Erling is back to business. Penalties are a guarantee but the second and fourth goals were unbelievable."
