Manchester City 3-0 Wolves: Jesus double narrows the gap on Liverpool

It's hard enough playing Manchester City at the Etihad these days without picking up reckless red cards. Step forward Willy Boly.

Well, actually, it was more of a lunge from the Wolves centre-back. An ugly follow through that made contact with Bernardo Silva’s right ankle with sickening force in the 19th minute.

In Boly’s defence, he had only picked up a solitary booking in 22 previous appearances this season. But it was the kind of challenge you simply cannot make in the modern game and hope to stay on the pitch.
