Man City came under criticism for the way they scored the winning goal in the 2-1 win over Wolves in their Premier League.

The John Stones winner was initially disallowed as it looked like Bernardo Silva was in an offside position hampering the vision of goalkeeper Jose Sa.

But Guardiola insists that his side did nothing wrong for the goal, claiming: “Of course I didn’t understand it. Linesman, I don’t know the reason why he did it [disallow the goal].

“But Bernardo isn’t disturbing the position. It was difficult in the first moment. Today in modern football they starve the keeper.

“At the moment what happened [Jose] Sa had the perfect vision. The taker from Phil [Foden] and the header [by John Stones] were magnificent.”

With the victory over Wolves, Man City was able to temporarily take the top spot in the Premier League standings and extend their league winning streak to 31 games.
