Guardiola had been discussing Hwang in his pre-match press conference when he forgot the player's name, leading to his somewhat slapdash nickname for him
However, it was the 27-year-old who had the last laugh after his persistence saw him slam the ball home in front of the euphoric Wolves fans at Molineux.
It was a clash showed early signs of going the host's way as Wolves took an early lead thanks to an own goal from Ruben Dias.
The home fans had already made Matheus Nunes feel somewhat uncomfortable by loudly booing him on his return to the Midlands, something that seemed to rattle his City teammates who were less-than impressive by their usual high standards.
