Goals from Sergio Aguero and Samir Nasri saw Manchester City relegate Wolves and move to within three points of leaders Manchester United.<br /><br />Both sides had early chances before City took control and Aguero slid them ahead from Gael Clichy's superb cross.<br /><br />Joe Hart made an excellent save to deny Steven Fletcher as Wolves worked hard to level, but Nasri slotted in to earn his side a vital win in the title race. <br /><br />If City beat United at home on 30 April they will be top with two games left.<br /><br />Their goal difference is six superior to that of their local rivals and all eyes will now be on that meeting at Etihad Stadium.<br /><br />City spent much of the season in top spot but their defeat at Arsenal on 8 April left them eight points behind United with six games remaining.<br /><br />Suddenly, though, they are very much back in contention and it promises to be a thrilling end to the campaign.<br /><br />The same can not be said for Wolves, who drop into the Championship after three years in the top flight.<br /><br />Terry Connor's side have lost a club-record nine successive home games and are without a win of any description since 4 February. <br /><br />They needed little motivating for a match of this magnitude and produced a spirited display but City, buoyed by news of United's 4-4 draw against Everton earlier on Sunday, ground out a professional win.<br /><br />Carlos Tevez fired just over the bar after only 17 seconds and at the other end Sebastien Bassong's shot was deflected narrowly wide.<br /><br />Aguero then drilled across the face of goal before David Davis forced Hart into a fine save with a powerful effort from 18 yards.<br /><br />City seemed intent on moving the ball wide, letting full-backs Pablo Zabaleta and Clichy stretch Wolves and create space for Aguero and Tevez.<br /><br />Zabaleta and David Silva combined well on the right to slip Nasri through on goal, but the Frenchman dragged wide of the far post.<br /><br />Aguero was again off-target on 20 minutes but there would be no mistake at the end of his side's next foray forward.<br /><br />Clichy nutmegged
