Captain Kevin De Bruyne scored in his penultimate game at Etihad Stadium as Manchester City beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 on Friday to climb to third in the Premier League and boost their chances of Champions League qualification.

Kevin De Bruyne scored and gave Manchester City a crucial but barely deserved 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers and a lift into third place in the Premier League on Friday. The Belgian is leaving City at the end of the season and still providing good memories thanks to his goal against a team that won its last six league encounters.

Pep Guardiola’s side played one of the classics as De Bruyne, who is departing the Etihad Stadium at the end of the season and is being targeted by MLS side Chicago Fire, crashed the Wolves box to sweep home the only goal of the game from Jeremy Doku’s cutback with 35 minutes on the clock.
