The Belgian scored what could be his final goal at the Etihad Stadium in the 35th minute, in his penultimate home game before leaving the club.

Wolves had very good chances to take the lead but lacked composure in one case, and hit the bar twice, leaving the hosts rattled.

But Wolves' threat faded as the second half went on and they stay 13th in the table following their first defeat since February.

City, meanwhile, sit two points clear of Newcastle United and four ahead of Chelsea and Nottingham Forest, with all of those teams in action between Saturday and Monday.
