When Gary O’Neil arrived at Wolves four days before the start of the Premier League after Julen Lopetegui’s shock resignation, many were expecting Molineux to be the stage for a lengthy battle for survival. Wolves have, however, confounded expectations, securing their 11th win of the season – a tally no team have been relegated with in a 38-game season – thanks to Pablo Sarabia’s goal against a feisty Sheffield United.
Relegation is an inevitability for Chris Wilder’s side after a 19th defeat of the season. They had more than enough chances to secure a point but were unable to take any and their most notable involvement led to a VAR review for a red card after teammates Jack Robinson and Vinícius Souza clashed, resulting in them butting heads before pushing and shoving. Although no action was taken it offered an insight into the frustrating nature of United’s season.
