Wolves boss Gary O'Neil claims Premier League referees may be unconsciously BIASED toward the top six after John Stones' controversial winner for Man City

Wolves manager Gary O'Neil claimed that Premier League referees own unconscious bias towards the top six after a controversial late John Stones winner for Manchester City.

Stones headed home in the fifth minute of stoppage time, with Wolves adamant that Bernardo Silva was interfering with goalkeeper Jose Sa from Phil Foden's corner.

Pep Guardiola insisted that Sa 'was watching the action perfectly' but O'Neil was left frustrated that VAR suggested Chris Kavanagh give the goal.

Wolves believe they had a goal disallowed in similar circumstances against West Ham in April, when Tawanda Chirewa was stood in front of goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.
