One goal, and it lands in the 90th minute
Wolverhampton won 1-0 at Sheffield United this afternoon. Jimenez struck in the 90th minute. That was it, and it was enough.
Eighty-nine minutes without a goal at Bramall Lane, one of the toughest grounds in the division. Then one move, one finish, and a game nobody expected to turn had turned.
Matches like this don’t reward the best football. They reward the side still going at the very end.

The two points that separate a season
The Championship is built on moments like this. A 0-0 away from home gets you a point. A 1-0 gets you three. The difference between the two is one action.
Across a 46-game season, those late swings pile up and usually decide the gap between automatic promotion, the play-offs and nothing at all. The clubs that go up are rarely the ones who dominate most often. They’re the ones who cash in on tight finishes.
For Sheffield United, it’s a bitter pill. One point looked theirs. Then it vanished in a matter of seconds.
Bramall Lane is not an easy place to win
Wolves have shown they can get results away from Molineux, and that’s still one of the clearest signs of a side with real promotion ambitions. Winning at home is standard. Winning away from home tells you a lot more.
Sheffield United will need to move on quickly. Losing like this leaves a deeper mark than a straightforward defeat. The Blades conceded a goal that changed little about the flow of the game and everything about the table.
Both clubs go again in midweek, which is the only mercy on offer here.
