There may be some who didn’t watch the game in its entirety and summize that 4-1 seems like a harsh scoreline, considering it was 1-1 until the 80th minute. However, on this occasion the scoreline befit the nature of the game, because other than the 10 minutes after Wolves equalized with their first shot on target, this was truly a shellacking from City. In one of the best displays on the wing this season, Riyad Mahrez gave Ki-Jana Hoever a twisted nose and then some.
It just seems like every City player is having their moment this season. We tend to frame team spirit easily within a narrative of fighting against adversity, all too often neglecting the fact that high quality players inspiring each other to shine is just as potent an element in bringing players together.
