Wolves have just ended Manchester City's unbeaten Premier League run in the coldest way possible.
Gary O'Neil's side have had a tricky start to the Premier League campaign, having only tasted victory once prior to this afternoon. While a disheartening 3-2 defeat to Ipswich Town in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday only dampened spirits.
However, the Wanderers put all of that behind them in the most remarkable fashion against City, beating Pep Guardiola's side 2-1.
Hwang Hee-Chan scored the decisive goal, rolling the ball into an empty net from six yards to send Molineux into raptures. But Guardiola's comments prior to the game made the moment all the more special.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, the City boss told reporters about Wolves' quality in attack.
"When you see the quality individually that they have, especially up front with [Pedro] Neto, [Matheus] Cunha, with the Korean guy," the Spaniard said.

Hwang, the 'Korean guy' Guardiola was alluding to, subsequently scored the winning goal which led to a brilliant response from Wolves' admin.
After the 27-year-old scored, Wolves posted a graphic of the forward on Twitter, accompanied by the caption: "THE KOREAN GUY."
The defeat makes it two in a row for Manchester City, who were knocked out of the Carabao Cup 1-0 by Newcastle on Wedbesday.

Liverpool now have the chance to go top of the Premier League table if they beat Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
