Wolves edge to hard-fought win over Sheffield United

Wolves

Pablo Sarabia managed to hit the ball into the net using his head, which was one of only two times that the Wolves team managed to get the ball on target.

Wolves managed to get a difficult victory in the Premier League game against Sheffield United, who are currently at the bottom of the table, thanks to Pablo Sarabia's header in the first half.

The Spanish player was completely free of any defenders when he scored his third goal of the season for the home team. He redirected a pass from Rayan Ait-Nouri on the left side into the upper right corner of the net.

Gary O'Neil's team has moved up to the eighth spot in the standings after this great outcome. It has raised their chances of participating in Europe in the upcoming season.

Wolves didn't play their best and only managed one shot on goal until the very end when Joao Gomes took a shot. The other team played defensively and tried to score on quick attacks.

The way Blades played was satisfactory for their manager Chris Wilder, despite not winning the game. He was pleased as his team managed to create many good chances.

James McAtee had two opportunities to score for Sheffield United, but he was unsuccessful in both attempts. The Manchester City midfielder, who is currently on loan, made a weak attempt in the first half that was easily saved by Wolves' goalkeeper, Jose Sa. In the second half, McAtee's shot narrowly missed the bottom right corner of the goal.

When McAtee sent in his cross from the left wing, Rhian Brewster had a chance to score and tie up the game. Unfortunately, Brewster, who had already missed a good shot earlier, couldn't get the ball past Portugal's goalkeeper Sa.

Wilder wouldn't have been happy seeing Vinicius Souza and Jack Robinson getting in each other's faces and pushing each other around during the first half.

The visitors were feeling ashamed as they are still eight points away from safety and their chances of surviving seem to decrease with every loss.

Blades Fail Against Cunning Wolves

The visitors will definitely regret missing out on this chance. They'll go back to Yorkshire confused about how they couldn't even get a tie.

In terms of opportunities offered, it could be said that Sheffield United only warranted earning their third victory in the league since Wilder took back his position as manager in the beginning of December.

Although they can be somewhat proud of how they fought back after their defeat by Brighton eight days ago, it is apparent that they have issues in both the offensive and defensive aspects of their game.

The Blades have had trouble scoring goals this season and have let in the most goals ever at this point in a top-flight season since Ipswich Town's record of 74 goals in the 1963-64 campaign.

On the other hand, Sarabia's precise header made it possible for Wolves to achieve the mark of 40 goals in a top division season at the fastest pace possible since the 1971-72 season.

O'Neil must know that his team needs to step up their game if they want to progress in the FA Cup. They will be facing Brighton at home for the fifth round on Wednesday at 19:45 GMT.
