Man United played pretty well today. They narrowly lost in ball possession, but overall they were the ones who seemed to dominate the match. Their rhythm of play looked promising and they had some good chances which could have turned into goals. Even though they failed to take advantage of all these opportunities but Man United can still get 2 goals from that. With the acquisition of these 3 points, at least they managed to keep their distance from Liverpool.
Manchester United did play well and got a well deserved win. The match stats shows Manchester United had less of the ball in their possession. I think that also shows how well they played and utilized their chances whenever they had the ball in their possession. And I agree, they did dominate the game. Having 27 attempts, it was a shame they could only get 9 on target else they probably could have scored more goals. The important thing was the win and that, they did get.
I think the Wolves goalie was pretty active and did a good job in keeping out some good attempts.
Today's victory that Manchester United got is a pressure for Newcastle who have the same points and there is even another threat from Liverpool who might also succeed in winning the match against Leicester which is a little weak for Liverpool.
It will be very interesting when the two unstable clubs chase each other for points to reach third place in the standings and while at the same time relaxing and consistently carrying out each match strongly, Liverpool are able to dominate five matches without losing and deserve third place
