Manchester City won its first victory of 2026 in the Premier League on Saturday, January 24, against Wolverhampton (2-0), to move within four points of leader Arsenal, who host Manchester United on Sunday, in the clash of the 23rd day. Pep Guardiola’s players took advantage of receiving the red lantern to turn the page on the derby lost against Manchester United (2-0) then the defeat in the Champions League at the modest Norwegians of Bodo-Glimt (3-1). They did not need to force their talent, the Catalan coach having even chosen not to start Erling Haaland and Phil Foden. A notable recruit of this winter transfer window, Antoine Semenyo scored his first goal with the “Sky Blues” (45th+2). Omar Marmoush, silent in the championship since May, opened the scoring early in the game (6th). The machine seems to be restarted before facing Galatasaray on Wednesday in the Champions League, where victory will be mandatory to try to finish in the top 8 and thus avoid the play-offs.
