Manchester City won.
A 3-0 victory over Wolves was enough to close up to two points behind Arsenal at the top of the table before their match with Manchester United. That was possibly the most concrete takeaway on an afternoon where any attempts to see a grand reaction to Pep Guardiola's furious challenges were always likely to be defeated.
Football is a simple game that City, at their best, do better than almost anybody. And for all your false nines and defensive pivots, there are few things more simple than Kevin De Bruyne crossing a football for Erling Haaland to head home.
