Wolves Defeat Man United in Dramatic Clash at Molineux 🏟️

Wolves celebrated a memorable win, defeating Manchester United 2-0 in front of a roaring crowd at Molineux Stadium. Bruno Fernandes saw red early in the second half, and Wolves seized the opportunity with goals from Matheus Cunha and Hwang Hee-Chan. Let’s break it down.

First Half: A Cautious Start

The first 45 minutes lacked fireworks. Neither side could break through, though Wolves showed flashes of creativity, with Matheus Cunha testing United’s defense. Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes was booked, a sign of things to come.

Second Half: Chaos Unfolds

Just two minutes after the restart, Bruno Fernandes picked up a second yellow card for a reckless tackle, leaving United a man down. Wolves wasted no time. Matheus Cunha struck in the 58th minute, delivering a stunning goal directly from a corner. It was a carbon copy of Tottenham’s Son Heung-min’s effort last week—United’s set-piece frailty glaringly exposed again.

Late Drama Seals the Deal

Deep into injury time, Wolves broke on the counter. Cunha, the star of the match, unselfishly squared the ball to Hwang Hee-Chan, who calmly tapped it in, securing all three points. The home crowd erupted. Wolves’ manager Vitor Pereira praised Cunha’s brilliance: “He’s got the individual quality to shine in this league.”

United’s Struggles Continue

United’s form is grim—five losses in seven games across all competitions. Their defensive woes, especially against aerial balls, are a glaring weakness. André Onana, solid at times, struggled to dominate his box. With tough fixtures ahead against Newcastle and Liverpool, the pressure is mounting on manager Amorim.

Wolves Shine Under Pereira’s Leadership

Two games, two wins for Wolves under Vitor Pereira. The squad looks revitalized, and Matheus Cunha is leading the charge. His creativity, skill, and ability to deliver in clutch moments are invaluable. As Pereira said, “He’s a leader on and off the pitch.”

Looking Ahead

Wolves are riding high, with renewed belief in their capabilities. Meanwhile, United face an uphill battle. With Bruno Fernandes suspended and Manuel Ugarte out due to accumulation of bookings, their squad looks thin ahead of crucial games. The specter of a relegation battle, while distant, looms.
