Manchester City's unstoppable march towards a potential fourth consecutive Premier League title gathered more momentum as they thrashed Wolves 5-1, with Erling Haaland stealing the show with a mesmerizing four-goal display, according to Skysports.

Haaland's brilliance was evident from the onset, as he calmly converted two penalties within the first 12 minutes,

Haaland showed his aerial prowess with a commanding header from Rodri's precise delivery, securing his hat-trick before the halftime whistle.

The Norwegian striker's second penalty, awarded after a VAR review for Nelson Semedo's foul on him, further underlined his clinical nature.

Despite a brief glimmer of hope for Wolves following Ederson's error and Hee-Chan Hwang's goal, Haaland swiftly extinguished any revival hopes with a stunning fourth goal, leaving Wolves in despair.

Julian Alvarez, celebrating his 100th City appearance, added to the scoreline with a late strike, solidifying City's quest for the title while narrowing the goal difference with table-toppers Arsenal.

Arsenal earlier today, secured a comprehensive win over Bournemouth, courtesy of goals from Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard and Declan Rice.
