Manchester, Dec 9 (NationPress) Manchester United achieved a remarkable feat, extending their unbeaten streak to five away matches in the Premier League with a decisive 4-1 victory over Wolves.
Initially, it seemed challenging as Bruno Fernandes' opening goal in the 25th minute was equalized by Jean-Ricner Bellegarde just before halftime.
However, United took control in the second half, with Bryan Mbeumo reclaiming the lead on a counter-attack, followed by Fernandes delivering an exquisite assist to Mason Mount in the 62nd minute.
Fernandes concluded the scoring from the penalty spot with only eight minutes left after Yerson Mosquera handled the ball, leaving Wolves still searching for their first win of the season.
Currently, Rob Edwards' squad is languishing 13 points behind 17th-placed Nottingham Forest, marking one of the worst starts in Premier League history, while United finds themselves just a point away from the top four.
Despite the noise surrounding the club, United has only suffered one Premier League loss since late September and remains unbeaten in their last five away games. They will look to maintain this form at Old Trafford next Monday when they face AFC Bournemouth.
Following the match, United manager Ruben Amorim stated, "We started the game strongly, scored first, but allowed Wolves to come back. We faced some pressure at the end of the first half, but in the second, we displayed good pace and quality in our decisions. We finished strong, while Wolves are experiencing a tough time. We scored four but had numerous shots. Comparing this season to last, we are creating significantly more chances and scoring more goals, which is very encouraging."
