Week 33 of the English Premier League sees Wolves crush Manchester United’s Champions League hopes with a 2-1 win at Molyneux, and Fulham loses their English Premier League status after a mauling against Watford.
Of all the teams to derail Ole Gunnar Solksjaer’s runaway train, few would have chosen Wolverhampton Wanderers. Here we are, with the 2018/19 English Premier League (EPL) season soon to be joining pagers into the dim, distant past, and that’s what’s happened.
For the second time in three games, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side has roasted the Red Devils like chestnuts over a raging fire. Wolves eliminated United in the quarter-finals of a FA Cup run that many expected would end with a Manchester Derby, and now they may have ended their UEFA Champions League qualification hopes.
United arrived at Molineux knowing a victory would propel them into third space, hopping over Arsenal and Spurs like a fruitbat of a frog doing the Fosbury Flop. But Wolves play in mustard, and that’s what they’ve been this season.
