John Stones scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner for Manchester City in their 2-1 victory over Wolves at Molineux, propelling City to the top of the Premier League table. The match saw Wolves initially take the lead through Jorgen Strand Larsen, who capitalized on a well-executed counter-attack with a low cross from Nelson Semedo.
Despite Wolves’ promising start, City dominated possession and pressed for an equalizer. Josko Gvardiol eventually levelled the score just before halftime with a stunning right-footed shot that evaded Wolves' goalkeeper, Jose Sa, despite his best efforts.
In the second half, City continued to apply pressure, bringing on Phil Foden and Jack Grealish for added attacking flair. Although Erling Haaland remained relatively quiet, City’s persistence paid off in the dying moments. Stones headed in a corner in the 95th minute initially ruled offside but later confirmed as valid after a VAR review determined Bernardo Silva had not interfered with Sa's view.
The late goal stunned the home crowd, who were already frustrated by the earlier offside call. The result not only extends City’s unbeaten run to 31 games but also sends Wolves to the bottom of the table. Despite their struggles, Wolves received applause for their determined performance. Meanwhile, City’s resilience reinforces their status as the team to beat, especially following Arsenal’s recent slip.
