What happened. Raul Jimenez came off the bench to score a 90th-minute winner, earning Wolves a 1-0 victory over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. The game had few clear chances, and Sheffield United were controversially denied a penalty when Mark McGuinness handled in the box.

• Sheffield United had just two touches in the opposition box in the first half and generated only 0.06 xG.
• Wolves' Marshall Munetsi was the biggest threat, though Michael Cooper was rarely tested.
• Referee Rob Jones awarded a corner when McGuinness handled, with Gary Rowett saying Sheffield United 'got away with one'.

“His arm comes out, it hits him on the end of the arm. I think Sheffield United have probably got away with one there.”

— Gary Rowett

Wolves move on with the win, while Sheffield United will rue missed chances and the penalty decision.
