The Dutch midfielder set up the opener with a sublime lofted pass to Rico Lewis, who teed up Haaland for a simple finish in the 34th minute. Moments later, Reijnders doubled City\u2019s lead with a stunning first-time strike into the far corner.<\/p>\n<p>Haaland grabbed his second early in the second half, finishing coolly from another Reijnders assist to put Pep Guardiola\u2019s men firmly in control.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3 ai-track\" data-ai=\"WzMsMCwiSXNhYWMiLCIiLDRd\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSd3GiRw0g6bOS3kAtHb1Yhc5Jic6iTkM9pA5DhIB13uZgDpGQ\/viewform?usp=sharing&amp;ouid=102633326415294296882\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1026109\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naijanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-09-at-16.23.48.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"672\" height=\"560\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Cherki, City\u2019s \u00a334m signing from Lyon, added further gloss with a brilliant low strike from the edge of the box late on, sealing a statement victory and sending out a warning to rivals that City are firmly back in the title race after last season\u2019s disappointment.<\/p>\n<p>For Wolves, the night brought more concern than encouragement. Marshall Munetsi had a header ruled out for offside when the game was goalless, while Jorgen Strand Larsen went close in the second half.
