Raul Jimenez grabbed a late goal to secure a vital win for Wolves against Sheffield United in their latest Championship fixture. The victory stopped a poor run of form that included a recent defeat and a draw. Punters backing Wolves to win promotion saw their side show real resilience at Bramall Lane.
Squad depth proves crucial
Cesar Peixoto saw his side struggle for rhythm during long stretches of the second half. Several missed chances in the opening period nearly cost them valuable points in the table. However, the substitutes made a massive impact late in the match to alter the result.
Late drama changes odds
Kieran Trippier set up Tommy Doyle, who cleverly passed to Jimenez for an easy finish. That stoppage time goal secured the three points and a first clean sheet of the season. Wolves now sit in seventh place with a game in hand over several rivals.
Looking ahead to the derby
The dramatic finish will shorten Wolves in the betting markets for the top of the league. Bettors should take notice of their strength in depth before the upcoming Black Country derby against West Brom.
Backing Wolves for promotion looks smarter after their late winner showed they can grind out results.
