Man City drops points against newly promoted Wolves

Aymeric Laporte's header saved Manchester City from embarrassment on Saturday as they managed a draw against newly promoted Wolves at Molineux.

Laporte's first goal for the club, from a smart Ilkay Gundogan cross, cancelled out Willy Boly's controversial opener, reports BBC.

The Wolves defender had appeared to help Joao Moutinho's inswinging delivery into the net with his arm as he put the hosts ahead 12 minutes after the break.

Raul Jimenez thought he had given the hosts the lead before half-time, only to be flagged offside.

City had hit the woodwork twice in quick succession the first half - first, Sergio Aguero fired against a post before keeper Rui Patricio tipped Raheem Sterling's long-range half-volley onto the crossbar.

Aguero then hit the bar with a free-kick in stoppage time.

Wolves remain without a win since returning to the top flight, having drawn with Everton on the opening day and lost at Leicester last week.
