Mumbai, October 21: John Stones came up with an injury-time goal again as Manchester City narrowly avoided a major setback by beating struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 in the Premier League on Sunday. Stones headed home a corner in the fifth minute of second-half injury time and the goal stood despite the VAR asking referee Chris Kavanagh to review whether Bernardo Silva was interfering with goalkeeper Jose Sa from an off-side position.
