Fans have spotted what Jack Grealish appeared to do during the controversial VAR check of Manchester City’s winning goal against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
On Sunday afternoon, City got back to the top of the Premier League table after digging deep to win 2-1 at the Molineux.
John Stones jumped highest to head home in stoppage time but the goal was originally ruled out for offside.
This is due to the fact that Bernardo Silva was stood in front of Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa.

However, after an on-field review, referee Chris Kavanagh awarded the goal and City won 2-1.
After the match, it was spotted what Grealish did during the VAR check.
A fan posted a picture of Grealish speaking to the assistant referee or the City bench, with a caption which read: “The brilliant @JackGrealish making the argument that @BernardoCSilva is “just this tall”.”
Speaking after the match, Stones said: “We have been trying super hard to improve our set pieces and make the most of them. Today was a new focus and attitude towards them.
"Hopefully this is the start of many more. It is a vital part of the game at both ends of the pitch and really pleasing for me personally to get the winner after such a difficult game.”
He added: “I thought it had been chalked off. I tried to speak to the ref but he had a lot of people around him. For me it is the right call. Obviously I am going to be biased but I think it should stand.”
Meanwhile, a dejected Wolves boss Gary O’Neil said: “I am trying to remain calm. I have been involved in a few of those and not had many go in our favour so was expecting that outcome.
“There is some grey area that can go either way and once it was like that I wasn't confident it would go our way.”
