Manchester City had a surprise face in the dressing room after recording a rampant 5-1 victory over Wolves on Saturday.

Erling Haaland bagged four and Julian Alvarez was on target as City kept up the pressure on title rivals Arsenal.

The Gunners had beaten Bournemouth 3-0 earlier on at the Emirates but City's resounding win means they are just one point behind and have a game in hand.

City are also now 43 games unbeaten at home, breaking a previous 103-year record.

Before the game legendary former midfielder David Silva was paraded onto the Etihad Stadium pitch for a proper farewell to make up for his final appearance coming in front of no fans due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

But there was another famous face in attendance. Former Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Chelsea winger Arjen Robben watched a dominant City display and was spotted arriving for the evening kick-off.

According to Jack Gaughan of the Daily Mail, Robben, a former player of Guardiola's at Bayern, was invited in the changing rooms afterwards and congratulated the side.

City's title destiny is in their hands in the three games remaining, with the trip to Spurs in the penultimate game potentially proving crucial.

After winning three in a row, the Blues have been in this situation before and know that there is no margin for error.

“The biggest importance is just two weeks left," Guardiola reflected post-match.

"Three games. Nine points we will be champions.

“Seven points, six points, three points, Arsenal will win the Premier League.

“You see the result 5-1 [today] but I don’t have the feeling that was really good.

“We lost a lot of balls, simple ones. With teams that make high pressing we can run with Phil, Kevin, Julian. I give a lot of credit to Wolves, the patterns they have.

“Hwang, Cunha always is dangerous.”
