Premier League 2018/19, Wolves 2-1 Manchester United: 5 Talking Points & Tactical Analysis

#1 Diogo Jota and Raul Jimenez had a good game

Diogo Jota celebrates after the equalizer against Manchester United

Wolverhampton deployed a 3-5-2 formation and crowded the midfield, and thereby never allowed space to United midfielders. The build-up for Wolves' first goal saw Fred making a huge mistake leading to a good finish from Diogo Jota. He kept his cool when it mattered the most and found the back of the net to make it 1-1. It was the seventh Premier League goal for Jota, who has been impressive for Wolves this season.

The Portuguese along with Raul Jimenez made a lot of running in the offensive areas of the pitch. The duo combined well to trouble United defense throughout the game. Even though Raul Jimenez failed to get his name on the score sheet, he linked up extraordinarily with the full-backs to cause havoc in the Red Devils' backline.
