Hello, I'm Nathan Duda, I'm here with Wolverhampton Wanderers reporter, Mr Liam McKean.
00:13
Liam, Manchester United nil, Wolverhampton Wanderers won.
00:18
Five consecutive Premier League wins, Wolves up to join 13th in the Premier League, the
00:24
double over Manchester United.
00:26
Wolves officially safe from relegation this season.
00:30
I can't quite believe what I'm watching, it is unbelievable.
00:33
So, with it for which is win, sorry, loss against Arsenal, as you say, Wolves are, one, officially
00:38
safe from relegation, two, first league double over Man United since 1979-80 season, 45 years
00:46
ago.
00:47
First time they've won five top-flight games in a row since 1970, six unbeaten.
00:53
What else can you say?
00:54
I mean, he's absolutely astonishing.
00:56
He's done a fantastic job.
00:57
19th in the table before he was appointed.
01:00
Before that Leicester City game, 19th.
01:02
It is an astonishing turnaround.
01:04
And all credit goes to him, but these players as well.
01:07
Even, let's be honest, Wolves were not at their best today.
01:10
They had to soak up a decent amount of pressure from an average fan from Manchester United side
01:14
for quite some time.
01:15
They brought their big boys on.
01:17
They brought Bruno Fernandes on.
01:18
They brought Dalo on.
01:19
They brought Mount on.
01:20
And, yeah, it was Wolves who had the quality to finish the game and seal all three points.
01:26
Magnificent for those fans down there.
01:27
Yeah.
01:27
I mean, the fans went mental, deservedly so, because any...
01:30
Some bruise might have gone a bit.
01:32
You did sort of lunge at me and grab me as it went in.
01:36
There's a couple, you know, United faces looking in our direction when that goal went in.
01:39
A little bit gone.
01:40
But can you blame us?
01:42
Can you blame those fans?
01:42
Because that, you know, this was a game that was pretty drab.
01:45
Yeah.
01:45
It wasn't a great game of football.
01:47
Wolves won out their best.
01:48
United, let's go on.
01:49
Are pretty rubbish.
01:50
If Wolves were against a better side today, they might have been losing the game at half-time.
01:54
And, yeah...
01:55
Well, that's the sound of a good side that they don't play.
01:57
Exactly, exactly.
01:58
But you needed that little moment of quality.
02:00
Something just to open the game up.
02:02
And, my God, did Pablo Sarabia find it.
02:04
I mean, that is a beautiful, beautiful finish.
02:06
Left-footed, right to Anana's left, right in the top corner.
02:11
It's a gore to strike.
02:13
Ryan Aitnori looked very, very upset that he wasn't taking the free kick.
02:16
Cunha sort of was consoling him when he wasn't taking it.
02:19
And he had a wry smile on his face as he ran towards the away end as Sarabia celebrated.
02:24
But, my God, what a finish.
02:25
And, look, we said this last time that Sarabia had a starring role in Wolves getting a massive win.
02:30
If that's the last time he has a big contribution, then fair play.
02:33
If that's the last time now, before he particularly...
02:34
He's probably happy for that to be his last goal in England.
02:39
That's to be the last one.
02:40
And if it is, what a way to go out.
02:41
What a finish.
02:42
Yeah, look, Wolves obviously had injuries today as well.
02:46
Missing Jean-Marie de Bellegarde, Matt Doherty on the bench as well.
02:49
And then they lose the keeper minutes before kick-off.
02:52
Dan Bentley comes in.
02:53
Just a word from him today, because he didn't have loads to do.
02:56
It was pretty safe.
02:57
But, you know, he has started to defend some set-pieces.
02:59
A couple of decent tip-overs.
03:00
Was strong all day.
03:01
And for him to win that with a clean shoot, I mean a lot to him.
03:03
Yeah, it will.
03:04
And I think the word I would use would be assured.
03:07
I thought he looked very comfortable.
03:09
I thought he was very good with distribution, actually.
03:11
From a few corners, because Ericsson, we said this during the game.
03:13
You tweeted it during the game.
03:14
United's biggest threat was coming from dead ball situations.
03:17
Ericsson, who may not be quite the player he was physically, has got a fantastic delivery.
03:21
And he was causing Wolves some problems with that.
03:23
And Bentley, particularly with a few really dangerous corners in that first half, dealt with it really, really well.
03:27
He commanded his box.
03:28
He was very strong.
03:28
So, yes, he didn't have a lot to do in terms of shot stopping.
03:31
But what he did do was assured, it was confident, it was comfortable.
03:35
And Wolves got through.
03:36
And, look, it was a moment of quality that won it.
03:37
And this party is going to be going on back in Wolverhampton, I'm sure, when VTor gets back to the Midlands.
03:44
We love him, but he's made a rod for his own back now, because he's got to go out.
03:46
He's got to go get a drink now.
03:47
You can't not go out.
03:48
He went out after an Ipswich win.
03:50
He's got to go out after double over Manchester United.
03:52
Exactly.
03:52
Double over Manchester United.
03:53
There's going to be a guard of honour going to Wetherspoons tonight.
03:56
We'll be there as well.
03:57
You know, we don't mind a pint.
03:58
If he's buying.
03:59
Yeah, definitely.
04:00
Well, I mean, the fans were chanting, it's all around VTor.
04:03
It's going to be packed on Easter Sunday before Easter Monday.
04:05
It's going to be packed, mate.
04:05
Oh, my God.
04:06
It's going to be mugged.
04:07
There's more work for me tonight, isn't it?
04:08
We're going to have all the pub tweets going on.
04:09
I'm going to be at my desk until midnight.
04:11
Well, it's got to do some work for us.
04:12
Oh, it's astonishing.
04:13
So, yeah, look, I mean, it was a really poor drab game of football for 90% of it.
04:19
But our bit of quality unlocked it.
04:20
And now we're going away with smiles on our faces.
04:23
This Wolves team are in an unbelievable place from where they were.
04:27
They've come on leaps and bounds.
04:29
There's a lot of individual performances there that weren't particularly great today,
04:32
if we're being brutally honest.
04:33
But the win seals it off as a remarkable few months for this team.
04:38
I mean, VTor's done some job.
04:40
And look, I mean, you don't want to count your chickens.
04:42
It's one game at a time.
04:42
But Leicester City at home next week, you go for six in a row.
04:45
Six wins in a row.
04:46
In that 1970 year, they actually did win six in a row that year.
04:50
So they can match that with a win over Leicester.
04:52
And then we've got to do some more research if they win the next one,
04:54
which is Man City, of course, away on a Friday night,
04:56
for what the record is then.
04:58
But I mean, if they continue to break records, continue to win games,
05:00
continue to get points, they could finish 13th this season.
05:04
I mean, it could be a real remarkable turnaround
05:06
from what VTor inherited back in December.
05:09
On Easter Sunday, VTor Pereira has resurrected Wolverhampton Wanderers.
05:14
Manchester United 0, Wolverhampton Wanderers 1 from the Theatre of Dreams.
05:19
