Manchester City returned to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over struggling Wolves at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday night. The dominant performance from the hosts was sealed by Omar Marmoush's first Premier League goal of the season, which doubled Manchester City's lead after Jack Grealish had opened the scoring.
Grealish gave Manchester City an early advantage in the 10th minute, exploiting a defensive mistake to slot past Wolves goalkeeper Joao Vieira. The visitors struggled to create clear-cut chances throughout the match and were left to rue their lack of cohesion in midfield.
Marmoush's introduction at halftime marked a turning point for Manchester City, as they went on to dominate possession and territory against a disorganized Wolves side. His low-driven shot from distance proved decisive, finding its way past Vieira in the 76th minute to extend his team's lead.
The win brings Manchester City back up to third place in the Premier League table, with their next match against Brighton set for later this month. The result also marked a significant milestone for Marmoush, who has finally broken into the Manchester City starting lineup after several months of waiting.

. I love how Grealish set them up with that early goal, he's been playing so well lately! And Marmoush finally breaks through, that's amazing for him 
. It's crazy to think Manchester City are back up to 3rd place now, they're really showing their strength in the league 
. Brighton better be ready when they play them next month 
. It was one of those games where their squad depth really paid off. I mean Omar Marmoush scores his first Premier League goal, and it's a beauty too! 
He's been waiting for this chance to break into the starting lineup, so it's great to see him finally get the nod.
. That Grealish goal was sweet 
! And Omar Marmoush's first PL goal? What a moment for him 
. He really brought that energy in at halftime and totally changed the game for them.
. They've been struggling all season. But still, 2-0 win is a big one! That's what we love to see 
.
they really needed that boost in form and it's great to see grealish finally get on the scoresheet too! but wolves just looked kinda lost out there 
i don't think it was a surprise result, though - wolfs have been struggling all season. anyway, marmoush's goal is sick 
hope he keeps up the good form!
, and I'm loving every minute of it! I mean, Grealish's goal was pure magic - that guy's got some serious skillz on his feet 
. And Omar Marmoush coming in at halftime like a game-changer, eh? 
It's like Pep Guardiola knew exactly what to do to turn it around.
. I'm glad Marmoush finally broke through - he's been waiting months, so this is a big deal for him personally 
.
️. Fingers crossed! 
they played like 90% possession and wolves just couldn't keep up 
like seriously joao vieira made some crazy saves but they just couldn't stop marmoush's shot from distance 
and omg jack grealish is a genius on the field he's like a magician with that ball 
anyway manchester city getting back to winning ways is so good for them i was worried they'd lose their top spot 
but now they're back up to 3rd place and looking strong 
. Manchester City's bench depth is giving me life - whoever Pep has next in line, they're gonna come out on top I'm not surprised to see City taking points off Brighton either 
️. And Omar Marmoush breaking into the starting lineup? That's just the way it goes sometimes, I guess we should be happy for him 
. Manchester City was obviously just coasting for most of the game though, relying on Grealish to make something happen, which he did 
. But seriously, Wolves are in a tough spot right now and need to figure out what's going wrong 
, but it's also kinda obvious that City was gonna come out on top when they start playing with some semblance of cohesion 
that Man City is back on track! They needed this win like crazy, especially with all those pundits saying they're going to crash and burn this season 
. The way they controlled the tempo of the game and nullified Wolves' attacks was exemplary - it really highlighted Manchester City's quality and cohesion as a unit 
. gotta say, wolves looked like they were sleepwalking out there 
They really got that win back under their belt and now they're looking super solid in the league again 
Marmoush's goal was like, totally unexpected! I love how Grealish got them on the board early and then Manchester City just took over after halftime
