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.
