EPL: Manchester United break 17-year record

Manchester United on Sunday battled to a 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers thanks to Mason Greenwood’s late strike in the second half.

The win means Man United have now gone 28 games unbeaten away, breaking the record set by Arsenal 17 years ago in the 2002-2004 season.

Summer signing Raphael Varane made his debut and marked it with the assist for Greenwood’s goal

Wolves dominated the exchanges with their trademark counter attacks which made the Red Devils jittery

On one of the many occasions, Adama Traore split Fred and Paul Pogba before Raul Jimenez shot straight at De Gea.

Moments later Aaron Wan-Bissaka had to make a goal-saving tackle as Trincao’s shot beat De Gea but was cut out before crossing the goal-line.

While the chance came pouring in for Wolves they failed to utilise it and it proved costly as United claimed a late controversial winner.

Ruben Neves thought he’d been fouled by Pogba but the Red Devils played on and Greenwood’s strike towards goal hit the back of the net as Jose Sa failed to get a full hand on the shot.

It was a second league win of the season for United who move up to third on seven points in the league table.

For Wolves, it is a third straight league defeat and they now occupy 18th with zero-point just above Norwich and Arsenal who all have lost their first three games of the season in the EPL.
