Wolverhampton Wanderers held Manchester United to a 1-1 draw at Molineux on Monday night.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side picked up their second point of the season with the result, and prevented the Red Devils from going top of the Premier League in the process.

The visitors took the lead through Anthony Martial, but Wolves went level thanks to a stunning strike from Ruben Neves.

United then had a penalty, but Rui Patricio denied Paul Pogba from the spot.

After a sluggish start, it was a good recovery from the hosts who looked much better in the second half.

Watching on was Match of the Day host Gary Lineker, who reckons Wolves will be value for one thing this season.

He Tweeted after the game: “Like the look of @ManUtd. Early days but already much improved on last season. Good signings and better balance to their play. @Wolves will beat a lot of good sides again this season.”

TBR’s view

Last term Wolves forged a bit of a reputation for taking points off the bigger teams.

Certainly at home they proved extremely difficult to beat, losing just twice at Molineux against the ‘big six’ all season.

If the club are going to break into that top six then it will be crucial for them to not only have similar success against those sides, but also beat the teams they will be expected to beat.
