Manchester United secured a 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Sunday, thanks to a late winner from Mason Greenwood. This triumph not only earned three points but also set a new record for the longest unbeaten away run in English Football League history, with United now boasting a 28-game unbeaten streak on the road. This achievement surpassed Arsenal’s previous record established between April 2003 and September 2004.
Despite Wolves’ early dominance and numerous missed opportunities, United held firm defensively in the first half. Wolves continued to be the stronger side after the break, with goalkeeper David de Gea making a remarkable double save to deny Romain Saiss. In the pursuit of victory, Jadon Sancho was substituted in the second half, and homegrown talent Mason Greenwood netted the decisive goal, securing all three points for Manchester United.
Wolves contested a possible foul from Paul Pogba in the build-up to the winning goal, but the referee took no action. With this result, Manchester United has accumulated seven points from nine in the current season, placing them third in the standings. Wolves, on the other hand, remain 18th without a point or goal.
In other Sunday matches, Tottenham Hotspur continued their perfect start to the season with a 1-0 victory over Watford, courtesy of a first-half goal from Son Heung-Min. Tottenham, under new manager Nuno Espirito Santo, has won all three games 1-0 and tops the table, while Watford is positioned 12th with three points.
Meanwhile, Leeds United, led by Patrick Bamford’s equalizer, secured a 1-1 draw against Burnley in the Premier League. Bamford celebrated his England call-up with the crucial goal, earning Leeds two points from their opening three games. Burnley, managed by Sean Dyche, had lost its first two games of the season.
