Traore's double sees Wolves become first to win at Eastlands
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola

Manchester City 0-2 Wolves
at Eastlands
by James Nalton

WOLVERHAMPTON Wanderers became the first side to win at Eastlands this year thanks to two textbook counter-attack goals from Adama Traore.

The decision of Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo to move Traore from wing-back to join Raul Jimenez in the forward line late in the second half was key. 

It meant the Spanish wide-man could use his blistering pace against a Manchester City back line which was exposed as they chased a winner, and then an equaliser. He did so to devastating effect, with a little help from Jimenez.
