Man City's trip to Wolves has given us the best stat of the season 🏏
The scores may be level but it really has been all Manchester City in their clash at Wolves this afternoon.
The reigning champions conceded after only seven minutes as Jørgen Strand Larsen netted from a Nelsen Semedo cross.
And it turns out that that finish was one of only five successful passes that the home side completed in the first half.
Successful passes in the final third —
Wolves: 5

City on the other hand, completed 225.
