Omar Marmoush scored his first Premier League goal of the season to help Manchester City return to winning ways by easing past bottom side Wolves at Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola’s side had suffered a miserable start to 2026 by not winning any of their four league games, and the Spaniard decided to give star striker Erling Haaland and midfielder Phil Foden a rest by dropping them to the bench.
The duo came on in the second half by which time their team-mates had already made a positive impact to put City back on track in the top-flight.
City grabbed the lead when Marmoush stabbed home Matheus Nunes’ whipped cross, before Bernardo Silva fizzed a pass into the feet of Antoine Semenyo, who converted a cool finish from the edge of the area.
In other games, a fantastic first-half performance helped West Ham blow away Sunderland and move to within two points of 17th-placed Nottingham Forest and safety. Goals from Samuel Chukwueze and a spectacular late free-kick by Harry Wilson for Fulham ensured they came from behind to defeat Brighton at Craven Cottage, while Cristian Romero rescued a point for Tottenham Hotspur late on just as under-pressure head coach Thomas Frank faced further embarrassment against struggling Burnley at Turf Moor.
