Man City 1-0 Wolves: Raheem Sterling joins Premier League 100 club

Man City beat 10-man Wolves 1-0 after Raul Jimenez’s silly first-half red card. Raheem Sterling went on to score his 100th Premier League goal.

Jimenez was sent off for two yellow cards in the space of 31 seconds at the end of a sluggish first half, the first for a foul near halfway and the second for attempting to block the following free-kick.

Man City finally broke the deadlock with a controversial penalty award – Bernardo Silva’s cross hit Joao Moutinho’s armpit, but Jon Moss and VAR determined the ball had hit enough of the midfielder’s arm – allowing Sterling to reach his Premier League century from the spot, becoming the 32nd player to do so and the eighth-youngest at 27 years old.

City’s winning streak in the Premier League currently stands at seven games, and they will finish the weekend as league leaders, while Wolves remain winless and without a goal in four games.

The attacker noted that he really wanted to be in among the 100 clubs as he continues to shine after the international break.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
