2 w. ago Nick Woltemade own goal ushers in pantomime season on Wearside | Barry Glendenning

German striker was given a sarcastic ovation by the Sunderland fans after his inadvertent match winnerOn numerous occasions during the 75 minutes he spent on the pitch during the Wear-Tyne derby, Nick Woltemade cut an extremely isolated, peripheral and forlorn figure in the opposition box. A bad afternoon for Newcastle’s German striker got significantly worse shortly after half-time when he cut an even more isolated, peripheral and forlorn figure in his own team’s box after inadvertently heading a Nordi Mukiele cross past Aaron Ramsdale from six yards out.Woltemade’s embarrassing own goal proved to be the unwitting match-winner in a contest that had until that point been high on full-blooded aggression but low on moments of real quality. As he made way for Yoane Wissa, it was no surprise the Sunderland fans granted the visibly deflated 23-year-old a sarcastic ovation. A fan favourite on Tyneside until the 46th minute of this match, Woltemade has now pulled off the unlikely feat of w...

2 w. ago Fernandes at the double as Manchester United ease past Wolves amid fan unrest

For Manchester United, a soothing return to winning ways to avert any sense another mini-crisis was brewing. Ruben Amorim’s side cruised to a comfortable win, navigating the briefest of scares after Wolves equalised but turned on the style after the interval. The visiting manager clenched his right fist when Mason Mount volleyed in to make it 3-1, building on goals by Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes, who also rounded off the scoring.For Wolves, this was yet another demoralising defeat, a 13th in 15 league matches. The last time they tasted victory, in April, Matheus Cunha, who enjoyed his return to Molineux, opened the scoring. Nine fan groups protested against the Wolves owner Fosun by boycotting the first 15 minutes of the match. They voiced anger at the players, too. “You’re not fit to wear the shirt,” they sang, and later jeered Jørgen Strand Larsen when he was taken off. Continue reading...
