Manchester City secured all three points away to Wolves as John Stones scored in the 94th minute and you can watch the highlights below.

The hosts made an electric start to the match, taking the lead within the opening 7 minutes – thanks to a clever Nelson Semdo assist for Jorgen Strand Larsen.

Wolves were in desperate need of a win as Gary O’Neil’s side had not picked up a win from all four of their previous matches at Molineux.

Pep Guardiola’s men continued to turn the screw in search of a goal and were rewarded in the 33rd minute through Josko Gvardiol.

The Croatian international curled the ball into the far right corner with a sublime effort from just outside the box to bring City level.

City continued to dominate the game from that point onward, as Erling Haaland and Ilkay Gundogan came close to giving their side the lead.

Despite their superior possession and chances created, the Premier League champions could not find that all-important winner and frustration began to grow.

However, in the 94th minute their pressure was rewarded as John Stones rose the highest to head home from a Phil Foden corner.

This means that Wolves have now made their worst start to a league season at home in history, losing four straight fixtures at Molineux.

O’Neil’s men now sit bottom of the table with just one point from eight games and boast the worst defensive record in the league.
