Play by play

  1. That was jolly good entertainment. City were 1-0 down at one point. Then it was 3-1. Goal continued to rain down in the second period. It finished 5-2 and City are into the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup. Thanks for keeping me company.

  2. <b>Full-time: Wolves 2-5 Manchester City</b>

  3. 90'

    It's cleared.

  4. 90'

    One last corner for City, in the dying seconds.

  5. 90'

    Side-netting! Kolarov arrives at the back stick and slaps the ball at the netting. He probably should have crossed, the greedy sod.

  6. 90'

    Commentator on television currently reading out players who have not featured for City tonight. Scary list that. And it's Halloween.

  7. 90'

    Wolves pushing for a consolation, but Toure hangs out a big leg to dispossess Hunt.

  8. 89'

    It's been well contested too, both sets of players up for it. Meanwhile, there will be four minutes of added time.

  9. 88'

    It's been a fun game this one, unless you are a Wolves fan, I guess. But then, even if you are a Wolves fan, at least there's been goals. Seven of them. Count them. Sevent.

  10. 87'

    Johnson just went down in the box. He seemed a little too keen to go down, flopping over like an electrocuted fish. Seen 'em given though.

  11. 86'

    City still pinging it about sweetly. The boy Denis Suarez looks sharp.

  12. 85'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Milner is on for Razak, who has impressed me.

  13. 84'

    O'Hara executes a silky little turn then his a pop from range with his right foot. The keeper springs to his right and parries away. Wolves have matched City for shots on goal. That is no surprise.

  14. 83'

    De Vries has had an appalling match, in truth. He just then fumbled the ball despite having it in his hands, then gave it to a defender who had a striker breathing down his neck.

  15. 82'

    Hammill joins the list of players to shoot from a crazy distance. The fans voice their displeasure.

  16. 81'

    O'Hara just had a vicious shot at goal which stung the palms over the keeper. Wolves have put a shift in, just been undone by City's quality. Their strength in depth is absurd.

  17. 80'

    It's too deep. The ball harmlessly floats over everyone and out for a goal kick. Meanwhile, the television commentary team praise the fans for not leaving yet. Yer, that merits praise. Well done chaps.

  18. 79'

    Corner to Wolves...

  19. 79'

    It is worth noting that City goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon is 6ft 8in. That's frickin' massive.

  20. 78'

    Razak limping off. That might be his night over.

  21. 77'

    Razak down with cramp. The boy looks in agony.

  22. 76'

    Now it's City's turn to cheer each pass. In other news, Savic has settled down after a David Luiz-esque start to this game.

  23. 75'

    Ward smashes in a cross from the right but the ball is cleared at the near post. Dangerous delivery, that one.

  24. 74'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Scapuzzi off for Rekik.

  25. 73'

    Wolves fans now cheering each pass. At least they are having fun.
