Wolves secured a crucial 1-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford, ensuring their mathematical safety from relegation. Pablo Sarabia, who came off the bench in the second half, scored the winning goal with a stunning free-kick.
The match was a tight affair, with both teams struggling to create chances in the first half. However, Wolves improved in the second half, and Sarabia’s moment of brilliance settled the game. This win has taken Wolves up to 15th in the table, and they’ve now done the double over Manchester United for the first time since the 1979/80 season.
The victory also sparked some good-natured banter from the Wolves fans, who targeted Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes after he blazed a free-kick over the bar. The Wolves supporters compared Fernandes unfavorably to their former captain, Ruben Neves, who was known for his exceptional free-kick skills.
This win marks the fifth consecutive Premier League victory for Wolves, a new record for the club. Manager Vitor Pereira’s impressive run continues, and calls for a new contract will likely grow louder. The win was a testament to Wolves’ defensive solidity and Sarabia’s quality, and it sets them up well for the remainder of the season.
