Manchester City signalled their intent to take back the English Premier League title from Liverpool as Erling Haaland struck twice in a 4-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers 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. However, at Molineux, City’s new signings provided fans with plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the current campaign.

Midfielder Tijjani Reijnder, brought from AC Milan, filled Kevin de Bruyne’s boots admirably as the creative outlet in the side, notching up a goal and assist on his EPL debut. Former Lyon winger, Rayan Cherki, also scored his first goal for the Sky Blues after coming off the bench, to seal an impressive win.
