(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Ahn Hong-seok = ‘Korean Guy’ Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) scored two goals in a row against ‘Geoham’ Manchester City (Man City), but he couldn’t laugh at the massive defeat of the team.
Wolverhampton lost 1-5 to Manchester City, where Erling Holland scored 4 goals, in an away match in the 36th round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) season held at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England on the 5th (Korea time).
Hwang Hee-chan, who started as a front row striker, hit the net with an unstoppable right-footed shot from Jeanrichner Bellegarde’s right-wing cross in the 8th minute of the second half when Wolverhampton were trailing 0-3 .
Hwang Hee-chan, who had tasted a goal in the 35th round against Luton Town (Wolverhampton won 2-1), recorded goals in two consecutive games.

He increased his league scoring to 12 goals (3 assists), moving into a tie for 11th in the scoring standings.
Adding one goal scored in the League Cup, Hwang Hee-chan’s official attacking points this season increased to 13 goals and 3 assists.
It is even more meaningful because he scored in two consecutive games against a strong team called Manchester City.
Hwang Hee-chan led Wolverhampton to a 2-1 win by scoring the winning goal in the 7th round against Manchester City last September.
At that time, before the game, Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola became a hot topic by referring to Hwang Hee-chan as ‘Korean Guy’, perhaps because he could not remember his name.
Unlike the 7th round, Hwang Hee-chan did not become the main character this time.
‘Monster goalscorer’ Holland dominated the spotlight by scoring 4 goals, including 2 penalties.

Holland converted a penalty won by Joszko Gvardiol after a foul by Rayan Aitnouri in the 12th minute of the first half, and scored an extra goal with a high-scoring header on 35 minutes of the first half.
In the 48th minute of the first half, he completed a hat trick by scoring a penalty himself.
In the ninth minute of the second half, he beat one of the defenders and scored on a counter-attack, effectively deciding Manchester City’s victory.
Their 5-1 victory ended for Manchester City with a goal from Julian Alvarez in the 35th minute of the second half.
On this day, Holland, who scored the most goals in a league game this season, further confirmed his position as the leader in the scoring positions with 25 goals.
The gap with Alexander Isaac (Newport) and Cole Palmer (Chelsea, 20 goals), who are tied for second place, has widened to 5 goals.
Man City, who had won six league games in a row, managed to collect 82 points and were closely following the leader (83 points), Arsenal. Manchester City have played one game less than Arsenal.
In a press conference after the match, Coach Guardiola highly praised the performance of Hwang (Hee-chan) and (Mateus) Cunha, saying, “Hwang (Hee-chan) and (Mateus) Cunha always threaten players .” This time, I said Hwang Hee-chan’s name straight away.
He also said, “The remaining two weeks are important. We need to win 9 points in 3 games and become champions,” and set our sights on a 4th league defeat in a row.
