Wolverhampton Wanderers could overtake Manchester United in the Premier League if they take maximum points at Molineux on Thursday.The hosts will be looking to exact revenge on the Red Devils after suffering a controversial 1-0 defeat in the come-from-behind game at Old Trafford last August.
Wolves extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to seven games when they beat rivals West Bromwich Albion 2-0 in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday, but the Black County derby was marred by crowd trouble at the Hawthorns .In the 78th minute of the first half, Pedro Neto’s first goal was scored by Matheus Cunha, but the game was stopped for about 38 minutes when a foul play broke out in a corner of the pitch. Players were sent off, including West Brom defender Kyle Bartley, who intervened to remove his daughter from the stands.
After goals from Bruno Fernandes and Kobi Maino in the first 13 minutes, the Red Devils maintained their dominance until they suffered a major blow when their Ligue 2 opponents scored either side of the first half to restore parity. But Anthony’s first goal of the season in any competition followed a late strike from Rasmus Hoylund to keep United’s title hopes alive this season.
Manchester United have won two of their last three FA Cup games against teams at least two divisions lower, but the jury is still out on Erik Ten Hag as his inconsistent performances have affected many of the club’s fans. Haag is excluded. disappointed; The Red Devils have won four, drawn three and lost five of their last 12 games in all competitions since the end of November.
