Super Subs Steal the Show as Wolves Edge United and Chelsea Stun Fulham

The final whistle sounded to a raucous Wolves away end as Manchester United slumped to a 1-0 defeat at home. It was a match defined by a slow-burning first half and a flurry of missed chances in the second. The introduction of Bruno Fernandes at the hour mark sparked some life into United’s attack, but confidence issues plagued Hojlund and Mount, both missing clear-cut opportunities.

Just when it seemed like United might nick it, Wolves struck through substitute Pablo Sarabia in the 77th minute. After Eriksen fouled Cunha on the edge of the box, Sarabia stepped up and curled a magnificent left-footed free-kick into the top-right corner—Onana rooted, the crowd stunned. Despite late pressure, including two golden chances for Mount, United couldn’t find an answer. The result marks Wolves’ first league double over United since 1979-80 and sees both sides tied on 38 points.

Chelsea’s Comeback Magic at Craven Cottage
Meanwhile, over in west London, Chelsea mounted a dramatic comeback to claim a 2-1 victory over Fulham in the London derby. Fulham were the better side in the first half and took a deserved lead on 20 minutes when Iwobi rifled a low strike into the bottom corner after a smart setup by Sessegnon.

Chelsea, flat in the opening 45, improved significantly in the second half. Jadon Sancho and Pedro Neto added energy and creativity, but it wasn’t until the 83rd minute that substitute Tyrique George capitalized on a defensive mistake to drill in his first Premier League goal and level the match.

Then, in the third minute of added time, Chelsea sealed the win in style. Fernandez found Neto in the box, who turned his marker and unleashed a rocket into the top right corner. It was a goal worthy of winning any match—and it lifted Chelsea back into the Champions League spots.
