Manchester City opened their Premier League campaign with a dominant 4-0 win over Wolves, as debutants Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki made an immediate impact in Pep Guardiola’s new-look side.
Reijnders, signed in the summer to help fill the void left by Kevin De Bruyne’s move to Napoli, scored once and was instrumental in two other goals during an impressive first outing.
Cherki, introduced in the second half, sealed the win with a fine finish just eight minutes after coming on.
Erling Haaland continued his prolific form, netting twice, the opener after 34 minutes and City’s third early in the second half, to ensure there was no way back for Wolves.
The result provided Guardiola’s men with a bright start after last season’s struggles.
There was a moment of concern in stoppage time when Nico Gonzalez landed awkwardly, though he was able to continue after receiving treatment.
Meanwhile, Wolves supporters paid tribute throughout the game to former striker Diogo Jota, applauding and chanting his name.
