Kevin De Bruyne scored a crucial goal to help Manchester City clinch a hard-fought 1-0 win over Wolves, and a step closer to Champions League football for next season.

The Belgian, who will leave City this summer, struck on 35 minutes to settle a tense and thrilling encounter at the Etihad.

Wolves arrived at the Etihad on the back of six straight league wins and made Pep Guardiola’s side fight all the way. They hit the woodwork through Rayan Alt-Nouri and Matheus Cunha either side of the break.

But Wolves’ threat faded as the second half went on and they stay 13th in the table following their first defeat since February.

City, meanwhile, sit two points clear of Newcastle United and four ahead of Chelsea and Nottingham Forest, with all of those teams in action between Saturday and Monday.
