Wolves v Manchester City - in pictures

City must feel this is a must-win match given the way United dropped points against Everton in the afternoon. But for Terry Connor and Wolves, this really is a must-win fixture .. anything less and they will be relegated Photograph: Jamie McDonald/Getty Images

Sergio Aguero repeatedly tears through Wolves' defence, but the Argentinian twice slides shots narrowly wide of the target. How costly will they be? Photograph: Shaun Botterill/Getty Images

But with 27 minutes gone, City finally unlock their opponents. Gael Clichy deserves considerable credit for a pinpoint threaded ball from the left-hand side of midfield which Aguero calmly tucks beyond the keeper. 1-0 to City Photograph: Tony O'Brien/Action Images

City have to wait until deep into the second half before making the game safe. Samir Nasri scores at the back post after Carlos Tevez catches Wolves out with a quick free-kick ... This victory has dragged City right back into the title race. They are now three points behind United, whom they face next up in what will be one of the most anticipated title-race fixtures since Liverpool v Arsenal in 1989 Photograph: Tony O'Brien/Action Images

Sadly for Wolves, this defeat has sent them down to the Championship. It's been a miserable season for the Black Country side and it's somewhat fitting that as the game ends, rain and hail stones descend on Molineux Photograph: Tony O'Brien/Action Images
