Wolves manager Gary O’Neil expressed frustration with his team’s performance after their 5-1 defeat against Manchester City, stating that they made it “easy” for the Premier League champions.
Erling Haaland’s four goals, including two penalties, and a goal from substitute Julian Alvarez sealed Wolves’ fate in the match.
Speaking to BBC’s Match of the Day, O’Neil commented, “We helped them; we did help them. They are obviously an incredible side and they punished us for our mistakes, but some of our mistakes were terrible.”
He particularly highlighted “ridiculous turnovers” and questioned the decision to award the first penalty, stating, “I thought it was a pretty bad decision.”
While acknowledging the quality of Manchester City, O’Neil emphasized that Wolves’ mistakes played a significant role in their defeat, suggesting that they “just made it a bit too easy for Manchester City.”
