Manchester City secured a 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux Stadium, extending their unbeaten Premier League run to a club-record 31 matches. Wolves took an early lead in the 7th minute through Jorgen Strand Larsen, who scored from close range after an assist by Nelson Semedo. Manchester City equalized in the 33rd minute with a stunning strike from outside the box by Josko Gvardiol. John Stones scored the winning goal in the 95th minute with a header, securing the victory for City. The goal was initially disallowed for offside on Bernardo Silva, who was deemed to be interfering with Wolves' goalkeeper Jose Sa, but after an on-field VAR review, the goal was awarded. This defeat marks the first time Wolves have lost their first four home league matches in a single season. The result moves Manchester City to the top of the Premier League table, while Wolves remain without a win at the bottom of the standings.
