Pep Guardiola said his Manchester City side beat Wolves 2-0 in spite of refereeing decisions going against them on Saturday.

City were denied a penalty in the first-half when referee Farai Hallam, who was taking charge of his first EPL game, refused to overturn his initial decision not to give a handball against Yerson Mosquera despite being called to review the incident by VAR.

"I would love to have the players fight against that [the refereeing decisions]. They [City players] know we won despite them [referees]. I think it's the first time they go to the TV and disallow [a penalty]," said a sarcastic Guardiola.
