Jimenez hits 90th-minute winner for Wolves at Sheff Utd

Raul Jimenez secured a dramatic 1-0 victory for Wolves over Sheffield United after converting a decisive strike in the final minute of normal time. Emerging from the substitutes' bench, the Mexican forward notched his third goal of the campaign from point-blank range following neat build-up play involving Andre, Kieran Trippier, and Tommy Doyle.

The outcome brought an end to an unusual streak for Chris Wilder's Blades, who had seen both teams find the net in 14 of their previous 15 Championship home fixtures at Bramall Lane. 06 expected goals and just two touches inside the opposition penalty area, while Wolves generated early chances through Marshall Munetsi and Hugo Bueno.

Controversy arose five minutes into the second half when Mark McGuinness blocked Mateus Mane's goalbound flick with an extended arm, yet referee Rob Jones awarded only a corner to the frustration of Cesar Peixoto's squad. Blades defender Ladislav Krejci subsequently escaped a second yellow card after hauling down Sydie Peck, before Sheffield United newcomer Jordan Ayew came close to an ideal debut when his angled drive narrowly missed the target.

Ultimately, the visiting side capitalized on their late opportunity, prompting Wilder to acknowledge after the final whistle that premier Championship sides will inevitably punish lapses in concentration.
