United go second seeing that past due Rashford winner sinks Wolves
Manchester United climbed several spots up to second in the Premier Little league after Marcus Rashford scored deep into stoppage time to provide them a 1-0 home win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday.
The effect left United on 30 points from 15 games, two behind champions and leaders Liverpool who visit Newcastle United on Wednesday., while Wolves stayed 12th on 21 items.
Rashford gave United the gain when it seemed the overall game was at risk of a goalless stalemate, with his shot taking a deflection off Romain Saiss and beating goalkeeper in the near post after he cut inside from a good Bruno Fernandes pass.
The visitors missed several chances in the first half as they stifled the home side with crisp one-touch passing but the best opportunity fell to the home side when Patricio kept out a Fernandes sitter in the 34th minute.
Patricio likewise clawed out a vicious long-range work by Paul Pogba found in the 75th minute and Wolves appeared to have done more than enough to earn a point after bathing in United pressure found in the closing stages.
But they were undone from a seemingly innocuous maneuver as Rashford picked up a long Fernandes spread the right and with little support in the penalty area, he strike a hopeful shot which wrong-footed Patricio.
