Manchester City secured a late 2-1 win over Wolves at Molineux, with John Stones scoring the decisive goal in added time.
Wolves, who had only one point from seven games, took an early lead through Jorgen Strand Larsen, who finished past Ederson after a quick move. City responded with a brilliant equalizer from Josko Gvardiol.
Pep Guardiola’s side dominated much of the second half but had to wait until the final moments when Stones netted from a Phil Foden corner.
The goal was upheld after a VAR check. Here’s a breakdown of City’s player performances:
– **Ederson**: Made a crucial save when City was 1-0 down, helping keep them in the game. 7/10
– **Lewis**: Caught out of position for Wolves’ opening goal and struggled to make a significant impact in attack. 6/10
– **Dias**: A few misplaced passes, but overall solid, and nearly scored. 7/10
– **Stones**: Played a key role in City’s passing game but shared responsibility for the goal conceded. Redeemed himself with the late winner. 7/10
– **Gvardiol**: Conceded the goal on his side but made up for it with a brilliant equalizer and strong defensive contributions. 8/10
– **Kovacic**: Struggled to provide the control that Rodri usually does, though he improved as the game progressed. 6/10
– **Gundogan**: Had some good passes and runs but lacked chemistry with Haaland. 6/10
– **Silva**: Worked tirelessly and posed a consistent goal threat, keeping Wolves on edge. 7/10
– **Savinho**: One of City’s standout performers, effective in both attack and defense, though his finishing could have been better. 7/10
– **Doku**: Disappointing performance, making several poor decisions despite having plenty of possession. 5/10
– **Haaland**: Had little involvement in the game and was off his usual sharp form. 5/10
