Nuno hails 2-goal Adama Traore as Wolves stun Man City

Wolves shocked champions Manchester City 2-0 at the Etihad.

Adama Traore scored twice in the final 10 minutes as Wolves won in the top flight at Manchester City for the first time since 1979.

Traore scored the first 10 minutes from time as the visitors capitalised on a mistake from Joao Cancelo. He added a second on the break deep into injury time.

City have now dropped five points in their opening four home games of the season, having dropped just three in the whole of last season and seven the year before that.

Wolves manager Nuno said: "We played good, the performance was good but defensively was very good and very organised. The boys worked hard until the end. The fans enjoyed it.

"We had a couple of good chances early on but it is too difficult to play against Man City. They play so fast but the chances came eventually. More importantly is how the players did their tasks, very good.

"Adama Traore is improving, he is special because he is very fast, he is unique in that and we searched for a moment of talent, Adama did well.

"It has been a long season already, too many games, but we always compete. I cannot say any game they have not done that, this is the way we want to work, maintain and sustain this. The players go to their national teams and hopefully come back healthy."
