Manchester United sailed over Wolves this afternoon after beating Wolves to 2-0 at full time. Anthony Martial and Gernacho’s goals were enough to seal all three points and clean sheets for the Red Devils.
Erik’s reached a milestone in today’s victory as the fastest manager to reach 38 victories across all competitions, more than any Reds manager has achieved in a debut term at the helm, surpassing José Mourinho’s tally of one less in 2016/17.
The win sees the Reds go level on points with third-placed Newcastle, behind the Magpies only on goal difference, after their 2-2 draw with Leeds United in the day’s early kick-off.
Fifth-placed Liverpool (now four points behind United having also played 35 games) travel to Leicester City on Monday evening, while the only other team who can still mathematically overtake Manchester United, Brighton (11 points back from the Reds with two games in hand), play away to Arsenal on Sunday.
Tottenham are now out of the running for Champions League football next season, with their 2-1 defeat at Villa Park this afternoon creating an unassailable nine-point gap to Ten Hag’s side, with only two games left in their schedule.
