Match Report
A sensational performance from Rui Patricio saw Wolves beat Manchester City 3-2 on penalties to win the Premier League Asia Trophy.
The goalkeeper saved three of City's five penalties and made a number of vital stops over the 90 minutes - all while suffering a deep cut to the face that saw a long injury stoppage.
Man City had dominated the first half and were awarded a penalty in the 20th minute after Adama Traore fouled Leroy Sane. However, Raheem Sterling sent his effort flying over the crossbar.
Wolves looked better in the second period but could not force a winner in normal time, taking the game to a stuttering penalty shootout, with Patricio saving Lukas Nmecha's final effort to see Wolves win the competition.
