Wolves end invincible run of Manchester United
The English Premier League exhibited another twirl after Saturday’s unexpected results when Newcastle had snatched Arsenal’s victory from under their nose in a 4-4 draw at St. James Park. Wolverhampton Wanderers thrashed Manchester United
2-1. After United’s winger http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299 found the back of the net in the third minute, Wolves came back strongly when 25-year-old Cameroonian defender George Elokobi scored in the 10th minute, putting the Devils on the back foot. The 25-year-old Irish international,
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wolves-c40952 showed a noticeable act on the field, thereby ending
Manchester United’s 29-matche unbeaten run.
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson affirmed that Old Trafford stars axed their chances of expanding their unbeaten run by losing to the bottom team. Molineux squad stunned the visitors with a strong comeback. The 69-year-old Fergie
said, “It was an opportunity. I said before the game, I do think Wolves are in a false position. But we had a great start. We made a lot of chances, particularly in the first half. Then, in the second, we were not at the races. Their keeper did not have many
saves to make. The pitch was not very good but we didn't make anything.” The Scottish manager already said in a pre-match statement that Wolves are not supposed to be at the bottom of the table and their position doesn’t reflect their performance. They have
shown a good example of mobility and agility in the current spell of the Premier League season.
When asked about other teams’ performances and the chances of title race, he stated that they are only concerned about United’s performance and eyeing at the 84-point mark so that Old Trafford could reclaim their glory by snatching the
record 19th victory in English Premier League. Fergie was disappointed about the visitors’ performance against the homers (Wolves) but also argued that United had shown a tremendous character over the past two months.
Wolves Chairman Steve Morgan was also surprisingly delighted about his team’s victory over the league toppers. Morgan appreciated the performances given by Kevin Doyle and Elokobi. He asserted that Molineux men showed great act on the
field and played some brilliant football. Even the victory over Fergie’s side isn’t enough to land among the top flight football clubs but Wolves would have to continue the same streak. The English businessman also criticized the FA’s fair play standard and
cited Chelsea’s expenditures in the current transfer window, something that Wolves wouldn’t afford.
He added, “To the clubs like Wolves and many others like us, it's completely surreal, It clearly isn't a level playing field when some clubs can literally throw telephone numbers around and others have to live within their budgets.”
