On December 31 at 05:09 (Tashkent time), in Matchweek 19 of the English Premier League, Manchester United drew 1–1 at home with Wolverhampton. The match took place at Old Trafford: the hosts opened the scoring, but the visitors responded before the break. This was reported by kursiv.uz.reports.
The game swung in the Red Devils’ favor in the 27th minute: Joshua Zirkzee’s shot took a deflection off a defender, changed direction and went in. Wolverhampton equalized in the 44th minute when Tomas Kraychi met a corner delivery with a precise header.
In the second half, United attacked more, increasing pressure mainly with crosses from the flanks. Still, the Wolves created dangerous moments on the counter, and goalkeeper Jose Sa rescued his team in one episode after an awkward back pass. The hosts’ best chance fell to Sesko, but his effort was saved by the keeper.
Late on, in the 90th minute, United appeared to score a second: Patrick Dorgu tucked away the rebound after Sesko’s shot. However, the officials flagged offside and disallowed the goal — the decisive moment that shaped the result.
Overall, Manchester United enjoyed more possession, while Wolverhampton defended in an organized manner and played patiently. Ruben Amorim’s side dropped points in a match they hoped to win, and the draw complicated the Mancunians’ position in the Premier League table.
