Coming into the fixture, Wolves had a chance to equal their best ever top fight winning run of seven games from 1946.

Although it seemed unlikely they would manage that at the Etihad, they should have taken the lead on the night.

Matheus Cunha's sensational pass put Jean-Ricner Bellegarde through on goal and he should have taken a shot. Failing that, he cannot make a mess of his pass to Marshall Munetsi and he did just that.

It was too far in front of his team-mate and had too much pace on it and the chance was gone.
