Past tormentor Adama Traore, scorer of three goals when Wolves did the double over City five seasons ago, was the guilty party, spurning a hatful of gilt-edged chances.

Kovacic, filling in for the injured Rodri, made them pay with a double either side of half-time, and substitute Jeremy Doku secured victory with a stunning strike before a Rodrigo Muniz consolation.
