Wolverhampton Wanderers' swift start subdues Sheffield United
Wolverhampton Wanderers showed no signs of fatigue, as they kicked off their English Premier League campaign with a 2-0 win against Sheffield United yesterday morning (Singapore time).
Just 34 days after losing to Sevilla in their final game of the coronavirus-delayed 2019/20 season, Nuno Espirito Santo's side looked fresher than expected as they made a blistering start at Bramall Lane.
Raul Jimenez and Romain Saiss put Wolves two goals up after just six minutes and the visitors were in control the rest of the way despite their shorter than usual close season.
It was the perfect way to open the season for Nuno, who recently signed a new three-year contract. - AFP
