Raheem Sterling scored his 100th Premier League goal as Manchester City beat 10-man Wolves 1-0 following Raul Jimenez's foolish first-half red card.
Match Report
At the end of a sleepy opening half, Jimenez inexplicably saw red for two yellow cards in the space of just 31 seconds, first for a foul on halfway and then for attempting to block the resulting free-kick.
City finally broke the deadlock with a controversial penalty award - Bernardo Silva's cross hit Joao Moutinho's armpit, though Jon Moss and VAR adjudged the ball to have hit enough of the midfielder's arm - allowing Sterling to reach his Premier League century from the spot, the 32nd player to do so and the eighth-youngest at 27 years old.
The result means City extend their winning Premier League run to seven, and will end the weekend top of the Premier League, while Wolves are now winless and without a goal in four.

He is not overrated. He is a very good player but we all know $100m is just too much
