Manchester City clinched a dramatic 2-1 victory over Wolves at Molineux on Sunday, thanks to John Stones’ controversial stoppage-time winner. The result extends City’s unbeaten streak to a club-record 31 games and keeps their title charge on track.
Wolves struck first in the 7th minute when Jørgen Strand Larsen finished a perfect cross from Nélson Semedo, giving the home side a surprise early lead. Despite Wolves’ strong defensive display, City equalized in the 33rd minute with Josko Gvardiol curling a fine shot past goalkeeper José Sá.
As the match neared its conclusion, City pressed hard for a winner, dominating possession but struggling to break down Wolves’ resilient defense. In stoppage time, John Stones headed in from a Phil Foden corner, though the goal was initially disallowed for offside due to Bernardo Silva’s position. After a VAR review, the decision was overturned, allowing the goal to stand.
Wolves manager Gary O’Neil was left furious with the decision, feeling his side had been unfairly treated. Despite their spirited performance, Wolves remain bottom of the Premier League with only one point, while City briefly regained the top spot before Liverpool’s win later in the day.
Pep Guardiola’s side, with 20 points, continues its push for the title, while Wolves face an uphill battle in their fight against relegation.
