EPL; Manchester City Snatch Victory at Wolves with Stones' Stoppage-Time Header

John Stones' injury-time header gives Manchester City a thrilling 2-1 win over Wolves, keeping them in touch with Premier League leaders Liverpool.

Manchester City maintained their Premier League title push with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Wolves, courtesy of John Stones' stoppage-time header. The champions trailed early but equalized through Josko Gvardiol before Stones' late winner.

City dominated possession but were stunned by Jorgen Strand Larsen's seventh-minute opener. Wolves' resilience denied City space, with Jose Sa making crucial saves. Gvardiol leveled in the 33rd minute, but City struggled to capitalize.

The win keeps City in touch with leaders Liverpool and Arsenal. Wolves, despite their winless start, showed grit and determination, with Joao Gomes impressing. Gary O'Neil's side continues to battle, seeking their first victory.
