John Stones delivered once again in injury time, securing a 2-1 win for Manchester City over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Sunday.

In the dramatic closing minutes, Stones headed in a corner kick five minutes into added time. This decisive goal was upheld despite a VAR review assessing potential interference from Bernardo Silva with Wolves' goalkeeper Jose Sa from an offside position.

City's victory dashed Wolves' hopes of earning only their second point of the season. Managed by Gary O'Neil, Wolves were left disappointed as Manchester City moved two points ahead of Liverpool, who faced Chelsea later that day. City had earlier equalized through Josko Gvardiol after Jorgen Strand Larsen's initial goal for Wolves.
