Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves) took a playful jab at Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola for forgetting the name of Korean striker Hwang Hee-chan. The jest came after Hwang scored the decisive goal in Wolves’ 2-1 triumph over Manchester City. This victory followed City’s earlier defeat to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup.

Guardiola’s momentary lapse in memory occurred during a pre-match press conference when he struggled to recall Hwang’s name. Wolves’ Twitter account later celebrated Hwang’s goal with the caption ‘THE KOREAN GUY,’ adding a touch of humor to the situation.

The defeat to Wolves marked Manchester City’s second consecutive loss, with their previous setback coming against Newcastle. This loss came just ahead of a crucial Premier League match against Arsenal, a rematch of the top two teams from the previous season, in which Manchester City secured the championship.

Looking ahead, Wolves are set to face Aston Villa at home in their next fixture, while Manchester City will travel to Germany to take on Leipzig in the Champions League.

Here are the highlights of Wolves vs. Manchester City, which ended 2-1 victory for Wolves.
