That's a wrap for this game, but stay tuned as Liverpool's match against Leicester City is about to kick off. Ryan Nixon will be providing all the coverage from that game. Until next time, this is Sanil Karan signing off.
Wolves achieved consecutive league clean sheets for the first time since January, helping them escape the relegation zone with their second home victory in the Premier League this season. They will face Spurs next. Meanwhile, Manchester United sit in 14th place, only 8 points clear of 18th-place Leicester City! They are set to host an in-form Newcastle United next.
Ruben Amorim’s team required significant improvements, but their situation became considerably more challenging just two minutes into the second half when Bruno Fernandes received a second yellow card for a late challenge on Nelson Semedo, leaving them a man down. With a numerical advantage, Wolves swiftly found the back of the net, although Larsen's header was disallowed for offside, momentarily stifling their celebrations; however, the tide turned on the hour mark when Wolves took the lead in a strange turn of events, as Cunha’s inswinging corner evaded everyone, including United goalkeeper Andre Onana, allowing the ball to slip in, marking the second time in three matches that Amorim's men had conceded directly from a corner. In an effort to salvage the match, substitutes Casemiro, Antony, and Alejandro Garnacho created a few half-chances as the diminished visitors sought what seemed like an improbable equalizer, but their ongoing failure to pose a genuine threat ultimately thwarted their comeback attempt, culminating in a late breakaway goal from Hwang Hee-chan that sealed a disappointing third consecutive defeat across all competitions for United.
In a fiercely contested first half, the two Portuguese managers employed similar tactics that largely neutralized each other. Both teams struggled to create clear scoring opportunities, with long-range attempts from Diogo Dalot and Goncalo Guedes failing to test the opposing goalkeeper. Although Jorgen Strand Larsen and Lisandro Martinez posed some threat with headers, Matheus Cunha's skillful play was the highlight of a lackluster half for attacking quality. Wolves displayed unexpected defensive solidity, especially considering their poor home record, while Manchester United's ongoing struggles to score underscored their offensive issues.
90+9'
HWANG SETTLES IT! Doyle sends a long pass as United commit numbers forward, creating a two-on-one situation for Wolves. Cunha positions himself inside the right side of the box and can shoot himself, but opts to pass it to Hwang. Hwang then finds the back of the net, shooting through the middle. Onana dives to his right and can't get to it. Game over!

90+7'
Wolves are in possession of the ball in the right part of the pitch, lined up for a throw-in deep within United's territory on the right flank. They're taking their time to execute the throw.
90+6'
CHANCE! Dalot delivers a long throw off the left into the Wolves box, but Gomes heads it away. Soon after, another cross from the same side comes into the penalty area, and Maguire connects with a powerful header. Unfortunately for him, it goes directly into the hands of the relieved Sa.
90+5'
Antony has the ball in midfield and tries to loft it for Dalot on the left. It's awkward for Doherty but the defender does well to head it out of play.
