Manchester United missed out on the chance to go top of the Premier League table after being held to a 1-1 draw by Wolves last night.
Anthony Martial had given United a 27th-minute lead at Molineux but Wolves hit back ten minutes into the second-half when Ruben Neves scored a wonderful curling effort from outside of the box.
After being fouled by Conor Coady on 67 minutes, Paul Pogba stepped up to take a penalty but his effort was saved by Wolves keeper Rui Patricio low to his right.
