That is all we have time for on Tribe as Manchester City move to the top of the table. I have been Elliot Thompson, and thank you for joining me. Stay with us on Tribe as Liverpool take on Chelsea in just under 20 minutes.
Next up for Wolves is another tricky game next weekend as they face Brighton away from home. Manchester City, meanwhile have some Champions League action in midweek. They host Sparta Prague before playing Souhtampton in the league next Saturday. So, a couple of comfortable fixtures for Pep Guardiola's men.
Wolves will be incensed that they haven't had the rub of the green here. They started the game off superbly well, scoring the opening goal. Semedo on the right wing put in a fine low cross, which came through to Larsen at the back post. He tapped home with his left foot in the opening ten minutes. Shortly after that, they had a big chance to double their lead. Cunha put Semedo through on goal after some lovely play in his half. Semedo never seemed confident as he ran through one-on-one with Ederson. He poked a shot at goal, but Ederson rushed out well to smother it behind for a corner. Defensively, they didn't do a lot wrong, as they were undone by a stunner in the first half. In the second half, they coped with City well with a tough low block. Just some lack of concentration in the dying seconds caused them heartbreak. They will think Silva was causing Sa some issues from an offside decision. However, when Stones heads in, Silva isn't near Sa, so they cannot purely blame that. Overall, it was a good display, but it leaves them at the foot of the table.
MANCHESTER CITY GO TO THE TOP OF THE LEAGUE! What about that for some late drama, wow. Pep Guardiola's men are back in their favourite spot as they sit top of the league. The reason for that was because of John Stones saving the day yet again. He rose highest to head the ball home past Jose Sa in goal with some power. However, after his insane celebrations, the referee had to go over to the VAR screen to see if Bernardo Silva was offside. He was in an offside position, but he wasn't interfering with Sa, so the goal stood. They needed that late winner after Wolves had held them throughout the second half so well. In the first half, it was another defender who scored the equaliser for City. Gvardiol curved the ball into the top right corner to cancel out Larsen's opener. Pep Guardiola's men certainly deserved to win, but to do so in such late fashion will be a bitter pill to swallow for Wolves!

Pablo Sarabia, who isn't even on the pitch, has been shown a yellow card for his frustrations as Wolves have little chance of scoring an equaliser now.

MANCHESTER CITY RESCUE THE THREE POINTS AT THE DEATH! Grealish sends in a corner from the left, which is knocked behind for another corner. Foden on the right wing clips it into the six-yard box. Stones jumps up to win the header. He bullets it past Sa in goal and sprints to the away end to celebrate. After a VAR check to see if Silva is interfering with Sa from an offside position, the goal is confirmed. There are more limbs in the away end as it seemed destined to be ruled out!
