#2 Poor finishing from Wolves

Wolves had caused Solskjaer quite a few problems in the last few meetings and the Norwegian had every right to be worried on the night. The away side had quite a few chances to score in the game but lacked a bit of precision and composure in the final third.

Right from the start of the game, Wolves threatened on the break and found themselves on good positions in the final third. Adama Traore was a nuisance all night and created quite a few chances for his team throughout the game. However, Raul Jimenez and co. had a nightmare in front of goal and failed to cause too many problems for Romero.

The away side did have the ball in the back of the net in the 10th minute, but it was ruled out due to a handball in the build-up to the goal. Wolves also struck the post through Matt Doherty in the first half and had momentum in their stride at one point in time. Unfortunately, they were unable to build on that and that cost them the game.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two.

He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.

Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.

Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
