Tempers erupted at Molineux this evening following Wolves’ 2-1 victory over Manchester City, the reigning champions.
Following the full-time whistle, there was a confrontation between the two teams as Nelson Semedo seemed to celebrate in Jack Grealish’s face.
That’s why the full-back was booked.
After a physical altercation on the field, Mario Lemina and City goalie Ederson were separated.
While Pep Guardiola stormed off—he was forced to sit in the stands after receiving three yellow cards this season—a number of stars from both sides became involved in the altercation.
Before the players departed the field, nine yellow cards in total—including the ones from the actual game—were distributed.
Matheus Nunes was making his first visit back to Molineux after being forced to go to Man City in the summer, and tensions were high from the start.
His old fans treated him badly; many of them jeered him whenever he appeared at a ball.
Eventually, at halftime, the Portugal international was replaced in midfield by Oscar Bobb.
Ruben Dias placed the ball in his own net barely 13 minutes into the match, giving Wolves an early edge.
After the break, Julian Alvarez tied the score, but Hwang Hee-chan gave his team the lead again in the 66th minute.
