Play by play
- 93'
<b>FULL TIME</b> Wolves are officially relegated but in stark contrast to their woe, City are back in the title race in a big way. They win 2-0 to move with in three points of Man Utd, with the derby looming a week on Monday. It's all coming to the boil nicely.
- 92'
A superb effort from Yaya Toure who smashes a shot just past the post with De Vries beaten.
- 91'
And now it is pouring down, the final indignity for Terry Connor and Wolves.
- 90'
Two minutes added....
- 88'
Another chance for City to create a third but it is all a bit tight in the area and Yaya Toure can't provide a cross.
- 87'
A muted atmosphere among the home fans as the realisation of relegation sinks in.
- 86'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Lescott heads wide before City make their final change: Kolo Toure replacing Nasri.
- 85'
A super save from De Vries as Stearman inadvertently met Zabaleta's cross.
- 83'
Mancini was absolutely livid after that Aguero fluff - punching the air in disgust.
- 82'
Goal difference could still be a factor in the title race so any extra ones City can rack up will help and they have just wasted a glorious chance. Aguero, clean through, fluffs his shot into De Vries' arms. What was that?!
- 81'
I wonder if Mancini will concede the title race is back on after the game, or stick to his "it's finished" line?
- 80'
Nothing left to play for but pride for Wolves now and their fans are still backing the team, to their great credit.
- 79'
Hart flaps a cross to Doyle and he wins a corner off Nasri.
- 78'
Another chance for City as Aguero gets round the back and crosses in between both Johnson and Nasri.
- 77'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Fletcher comes off and Ebanks-Blake is on. Odd. Wolves need goals.
- 77'
Johnson nearly scores with his first touch. De Vries saves his low shot.
- 76'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Tevez is off too, and Adam Johnson comes on. Keeping Carlos fresh for the derby.
- 75'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Just before Nasri pulled the trigger, Bassong pulled his hamstring.He goes off, Berra comes on. Wolves are going down.
- 74'
Tevez wins a debatable free kick and takes it quickly, Clichy returns it and finds Nasri who fires into the corner.
- 74'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Nasri scores!
- 73'
Excellent from Doyle as he hassles Clichy then wins a corner off Barry.
- 72'
City are flagging a bit here. This is not the dominant performance they were after.
- 71'
Now Aguero is sprung over the top and he narrowly fails to get a touch on the ball as De Vries came out to claim.
- 70'
Then Wolves give the ball away and Tevez shoots on goal. Outcome? Block.
- 69'
Toure gets round the back and crosses, Stearman cuts it out then he and Henry leave the ball to each other - that could have been embarrassing.
