‘Korean Guy’ Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) scored two goals in a row against ‘Geoham’ Manchester City (Man City), but he could not smile at the team’s massive defeat.
Wolverhampton lost 5-1 to Manchester City, where Erling Haaland scored 4 goals, in the 36th away round match held today at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England.
Hwang Hee-chan, who started as a front row striker, hit the net with an unstoppable right-footed shot from Jeanrichner Bellegarde’s cross from the right in the 8th minute of the second half when the team was behind of 3 overs. 0.
Hwang Hee-chan, who had previously tasted a goal in the 35th round against Luton Town, recorded goals in two consecutive games.
He increased his league tally 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 scored the winning goal in the 7th round against Manchester City last September, leading Wolverhampton to a 2-1 victory.
Before the match, 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 sublime header in the 35th minute of the first half.
In the 48th minute of the first half, he scored a penalty kick, completing a hat trick.
In the ninth minute of the second half, he scored past the defense 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 lead 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.
