Manchester City will have a match. Arling Holland will enter
the field, whatever the opponent, he will get the goal. It has now become a
rule! In keeping with 'ritual', Man City bounced back from Wolverhampton with
an easy 3-0 win today.
Man City scored against Wolves in the first minute of the
match. However, this goal is not from Holland. Jack Grealish got a foot on
Kevin de Bruyne's superb cross from the right wing and headed the ball into the
net from close range. This is Grealish's first goal in his third game in the
Premier League this season.
Holland, however, did not take long to score. He got his
name on the scoresheet in the 16th minute of the match. The Norwegian striker
took the ball from Bernardo Silver near the Wolves' d-box and dribbled past a
player and slotted the ball into the net with his right foot. This is his 11th
goal in 7 matches in this season's Premier League.
Holland won the Premier League's August Player of the Month
award yesterday. He scored 9 goals, including two hat-tricks, in 5 games in
August, the most goals by any player in the opening month of the season in
Premier League history. Another 'first' in the Premier League today. He became
the first player to score in his first four away matches in the competition.
Another statistic shows why Hollande is called a goal
machine and is expected to hold many Premier League records. After leaving
Salzburg in January 2020, the Norwegian striker scored 100 goals in his last 99
matches across all competitions.
Despite going 2-0 down with 16 minutes left, Wolves kept
trying. But that effort did not work in their own field. Although they managed
to crack the City's defense once or twice, the Brazilian goalkeeper Eilson
stood in front of them as a wall.
In the 33rd minute, Wolves' misery increased when Collins
left the field after seeing a straight red card for a bad tackle on Grealish.
After that, Wolves, who were very defensive, had the ball in the net only once
more. In the 69th minute, Phil Foden scored a great flick from De Bruyne's
pass. With this assist, De Bruina tied his name with 150 goals in 217 matches
played in the Premier League. Out of 150 goals, he scored 58 himself, 92 with
his teammates.

Then the highlight of the match was to stop the game at the
70th minute and stand up for 1 minute to pay respect to Queen Elizabeth II. As
the Queen had been on the throne for 70 years, she was honored at that time of
the match. In this win, Man City is at the top with 17 points in 7 matches.
