Wolves put up a fierce fight to hold off their superior opponents, frustrating Pep Guardiola's team from this point on. John Stones' goal deep into the final minute against Arsenal gave Manchester City the victory when it appeared that the match would end in a tie.Manchester City has returned to the top spot of the English Premier League with this win, but if Arne Slot's team defeats Chelsea at Anfield, Liverpool will pass them.
“Not a team that win games right at the end” : Pep Guardiola
Pep Guardiola spoke to the media after the game as he said, "We are not a team that win games right at the end but the performance there was outstanding. We have a lot of players with quality up front, but a lot of players in the box is difficult. They are aggressive, strong. We played really good to have the chances we had. The players who came in were unbelievable and to win that way feels good.”
The former Bayern Munich manager said, "11 players in the 18 yard box is difficult, but the composure from everyone. We lost here last season, they were less active but I saw them against Liverpool and Chelsea.
