Manchester City is the top candidate for the title in the Premier League of England and this Saturday it once again shows its superiority in the tournament, comfortably defeating Wolverhampton (3-0). One of the protagonists of the match was Jack Grealish, not only for his goal, but also for the harsh foul he received from Nathan Collins.
The impressive scene occurred when the action at Molineux Stadium was approaching 33 minutes, curiously initiated by the Wolves defender himself. In his own field, under pressure from Erling Haaland, the Irish defender, uncomfortable on the sideline, made a clearance, but failed to cut off the possession of the Citizens.
Pep Guardiola's team was very intelligent and, after a series of passes, Joao Cancelo aerially enabled Grealish on the left flank. The talented midfielder waited for the ball to drop to control it, but his plan did not progress due to Collins' abrupt intervention.
Nathan, in an unconventional movement, dangerously lifted his right leg to kick the ball, but miscalculated and ended up 'planchando' the thigh of Manchester City's number 10. Referee Anthony Taylor was nearby and did not hesitate to send off the Wolves defender, who had no choice but to accept the sanction. Fortunately, Jack was not injured and was able to continue playing.
