The form of Manchester City made Wolves’ trip to the Etihad Stadium last night a daunting task before a ball was kicked, even taking into account the Old Gold’s impressive record against the big teams this season.

Gabriel Jesus’ early goal gave them a mountain to climb, before Willy Boly’s contentious red card effectively killed the match as a contest.

It was 2-0 by the time Adama Traore came on at the interval, with the former Middlesbrough wideman charged with feeding off scraps and easing the pressure on the rare occasions Wolves won the ball back.

The situation in the match meant that the second half was a case of going through the motions but Traore was one of the brightest players on the pitch.
