Key figures

End of streak for Wolverhampton after 3 matches lost with a difference of 1 goals in Premier League (since 12/05/1984). It was the best streak for the club since 21/10/1978-11/11/1978 (4 matches).

It's the first time John O'Shea scores 1 goal in Premier League

Man United keeps its 8 matches with at least one goal scored vs Wolverhampton at home running (since 15/10/1892). It's a record streak. The first of history
