Kevin De Bruyne scored and gave Manchester City a crucial but barely deserved 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers and a lift into third place in the Premier League on Friday. The Belgian is leaving City at the end of the season and still providing good memories thanks to his goal against a team that won its last six league encounters.

Pep Guardiola’s side played one of the classics as De Bruyne, who is departing the Etihad Stadium at the end of the season and is being targeted by MLS side Chicago Fire, crashed the Wolves box to sweep home the only goal of the game from Jeremy Doku’s cutback with 35 minutes on the clock.

Kevin De Bruyne said he proved he "can still play here" after the departing Manchester City midfielder scored a vital winning goal in his team's quest to qualify for next season's Champions League.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says his side "cannot relax" following their 1-0 win over Wolves, which lifts them to third in the Premier League table.

Pep Guardiola has vowed to take a break from football when his time at Manchester City is over, but stifled speculation that he is leaving the club any time soon in a pre-game interview on Friday.
