City laid siege to the Wolves goal throughout the second half but could not find a way past the inspired Jose Sa in goal.

But there was to be one final twist in the closing stages as John Stones headed home. The goal sparked wild scenes in the City end but there was some confusion over the incident amid a VAR review.

Wolves was incensed that goalkeeper Sa's vision had been blocked by Bernardo Silva, although replays showed the City man had moved out of the way by the time Stones made contact with the ball.

"The VAR deemed Bernardo Silva wasn't in the line of vision and had no impact on the goalkeeper and recommended an on-field review. The referee overturned his original decision and a goal was awarded."

The decision is in line with Premier League rules, which state: "A player will only be penalized if they are - Preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent's line of vision, or Challenging an opponent for the ball, or Clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent, or Making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball."
