Erling Haaland's phenomenal performance propelled Manchester City to a crucial 5-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, keeping them in contention for a fourth consecutive Premier League title. With Arsenal winning earlier in the day, City responded emphatically, closing the gap to just one point at the top of the table with a game in hand.

Guardiola's side now sits at 82 points, with Arsenal leading by a narrow margin at 83 points but having played two more games. The title race remains incredibly tight, with just a few points separating the top two teams.

Haaland, demonstrating his scoring prowess once again, netted an impressive four goals in the match, marking his first four-goal haul in his career. His clinical finishing, including two penalties, showcased his exceptional talent and played a pivotal role in City's commanding victory.

After the match, Guardiola emphasized the importance of maintaining focus and winning their remaining games to secure the title. Haaland's performance was particularly noteworthy, especially considering his return from injury earlier in the season.

Despite Wolves managing to pull one goal back, City's dominance was evident throughout the game, with substitute Julián Álvarez adding to their tally late in the match.

Wolves manager Gary O'Neill acknowledged his team's shortcomings, attributing the loss to defensive errors and City's clinical finishing. With the Wolves currently sitting in 11th place in the standings, O'Neill recognized the challenge posed by City's quality.

Looking ahead, City faces two away games against Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur before concluding the season at home against West Ham United. Meanwhile, Arsenal's upcoming fixtures include a visit to Old Trafford to face Manchester United before hosting Everton on the final day.
