Wolverhampton Wanderers secured a 2-0 victory over a ten-man Manchester United to escape the relegation zone on Boxing Day, while extending the Red Devils’ losing streak to three games.
A dense fog enveloped Molineux during the first half, steadily creeping closer to the pitch as the opening 45 minutes unfolded. Fans whose view was obstructed by the mist likely didn’t miss much, as both teams, positioned near the bottom of the Premier League, played out a lackluster first half. The match finally sparked to life when Bruno Fernandes received a second yellow card less than 90 seconds into the second half.
Wolves quickly capitalized on their numerical advantage, but Jorgen Strand Larsen’s goal was ruled out for offside. Matheus Cunha made sure his goal would count in the 58th minute, curling a corner directly into the top corner to give Wolves the lead.
