Tijjani Reijnders was the player of the match, impressing with a goal and an assist on his Premier League debut. His dynamic play and ability to link up with teammates showcased why he is a valuable addition to Manchester City's squad.

Ilkay Gundogan was the first signing of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City tenure. He is one of the players who understands his vision of football on a granular level, so much so that there have been talks over him joining the staff as a coach when he retires.

Manchester City fans have a new hero to adore in the shape of Tijjani Reijnders. The 27-year-old Dutchman delivered an all-action performance on Saturday, contributing a goal and an assist, as City showed they mean business by thrashing Wolves away at Molineux.

However, the Old Gold's momentum was quickly extinguished thanks to two quickfire City goals, as Erling Haaland bagged his customary opening-day effort before Tijjani Reijnders - who played a key role in the Norwegian's strike - opened his Premier League account.

Indeed, as per transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, City hold Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo in high esteem, with Pep Guardiola and Co singling out the £86m-rated Brazilian as a main target, if Savinho does decide to leave City behind for Tottenham Hotspur.

And that return has only been managed once before by a Manchester City player, earning Reijnders a notable record on his first start in the league. The only other player to score and assist on their Premier League debut for City was Sergio Aguero in 2011 when he scored twice against Swansea.

Manchester City looked back to their best, with Erling Haaland leading the charge in a 4-0 win over Wolverhampton. Strong showings from Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki added to the dominance, though Pep Guardiola refused to call his side title favorites despite €344 million spent on signings.
