The Premier League on Sunday released a statement regarding John Stones' decisive goal for Manchester City against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The match, held at Molineux, saw Manchester City secure a dramatic 2-1 victory with Stones scoring in the 95th minute.
Initially, the goal was disallowed on-field due to Bernardo Silva being in an offside position and allegedly obstructing the goalkeeper's line of vision. However, after a VAR review, it was determined that Silva did not impact the goalkeeper's ability to see the ball. Consequently, the referee overturned the initial decision, awarding the goal to Manchester City.
The match had been tightly contested, with Wolves taking an early lead through Jorgen Strand Larsen's goal in the seventh minute. Manchester City equalized in the 33rd minute with a powerful strike from Josko Gvardiol.
Despite Wolves' strong defensive efforts throughout the game, they were unable to prevent Stones' last-minute header, which ultimately secured all three points for the reigning Premier League champions. This victory also marked a continuation of Manchester City's impressive unbeaten streak.
