City had to come from behind against a struggling Wolves side at Molineux Stadium after Jørgen Strand Larsen gave the host a surprise lead after only seven minutes. However, Pep Guardiola’s side was level soon after the 30-minute mark when defender Joško Gvardiol curled home a stunning effort into the top corner. But after a lengthy VAR review, the goal was eventually awarded as replays showed Silva was out of Sá’s line of sight by the time Stones headed the ball. David Davies/PA“I would rather not discuss it because it will still sound like I am making excuses. Ajax, however, eventually earned the three points thanks to Wout Weghorst’s winning penalty eight minutes from time.

☆ Supreme Court signals it may uphold Biden’s regulations on ‘ghost gun’ kits

CNN —The Supreme Court on Tuesday signaled a willingness to uphold a Biden administration regulation on “ghost guns,” mail-order kits that allow people to build untraceable weapons at home and that are turning up at crime scenes with greater frequency. The difference here, she said, is that the ghost guns are marketed to be built into guns and serve no other conceivable purpose. President Joe Biden’s administration told the court in briefing that police departments have faced an “explosion of crimes involving ghost guns” in recent years. In 2017, police submitted about 1,600 ghost guns recovered at crime scenes for tracing. After that decision, a lower court stepped in to block the regulations as applied to two manufacturers.
