Here is a look at the xG stats from Wolves vs Manchester City (Crowd attendance of 31,415 at Molineux on 30 September, 2023)

A club having more goals than the number of shots of target in a game? It’s rare, but this was the case with Wolves here- one shot on target, and they won the game 2-1.

Lots of possession and shots for City, but as xG shows, they didn’t really trouble the Wolves keeper.
