Manchester City faced off against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineux Stadium earlier today as they hoped to secure all three points on the road in the Premier League. The Mancunian club made a slow start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the seventh minute when Jorgen Larson scored with an easy finish. However, Josko Gvardiol equalised for Man City with a great strike in the 33rd minute as the two teams went into the half-time break with a 1-1 scoreline.
John Stones ended up scoring a dramatic, injury-time winner as Pep Guardiola‘s men earned a last-gasp 2-1 win away from home.
