Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Pep Guardiola called Hwang Hee-chan ‘The Korean Guy’ during an interview after he forgot his real name.
The defeat at Molineux was City’s second loss in five days, after Newcastle United dumped them out of the League Cup, and dashed the leaders’ hopes of stretching their season-opening run to seven league wins in a row.
A Ruben Dias own goal sent Wolves 1-0 up in the 13th minute, Pedro Neto’s cross deflected in off the Portuguese player’s knee, but Julian Alvarez levelled the score with a bending free kick past Jose Sa in the 58th. Hwang Hee-chan scored the winner as Wolverhampton Wanderers ended champions Manchester City’s perfect start to the Premier League season with a shock 2-1 home win on Saturday.
Hwang restored the home side’s lead on the counter-attack and against the run of play in the 66th by firing into the net from close rangeafter a Matheus Cunha pass found him unmarked. “Karma blew Hwang Hee-chan a kiss today,” a third wrote, while a fourth joked: “Pep wasn’t lying, they really do have quality up front.” Even Wolves’ X admin got in on the act, uploading a photo of Hwang after his goal along with the caption: “THAT KOREAN GUY”.
The goal was Hwang’s fourth of the campaign, meaning that he’s scored more than every City player whose name isn’t Erling Haaland this season. Wolves took an early lead in the game via a Ruben Dias own goal, but City hit back on the hour-mark through Julian Alvarez.
