Two matches of the 32nd round were played on Tuesday in the English Premier League.
The "Wolves" once again proved that they can compete with any TOP 6 team. The "Wolves" defeated the "Manchester United" footballers with a score of 2:1 in their own field.
For the guests from Manchester, the meeting started off well – in the 13th minute, Scott McTominay scored a great goal from about 20 meters and put "Man Utd" in the lead.
However, the "Wolves" quickly responded to the situation and in the 25th minute, the score became equal again – Diogo Jota scored a goal.
In the second half, neither team had a clear advantage, but the situation was radically changed by Ashley Young's red card. "Man Utd" had to play with ten men and the "Wolves" gained the advantage.
This advantage was used in the 77th minute – after a pass into the penalty area, Chris Smalling scored an own goal. For the rest of the time, "Man Utd" couldn't do anything significant and the "Wolves" celebrated a victory.
After this round, "Man Utd" can be four points behind the fourth position. The "Wolves" remain in seventh place with this victory.
In other matches, the neighbor of the "Wolves", the "Watford" team, achieved a convincing victory against London's "Fulham". After this loss, "Fulham" lost any chances of staying in the league.
