I think Sheffield United have probably got away with one there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sheffield United debutant Jordan Ayew almost had the perfect introduction when he drove in from the right and flashed a cross-come-shot inches past the far post. But Jimenez had the final say.<\/p>\n<p>Andre located Kieran Trippier, and he moved the ball on for Tommy Doyle to find the Mexican striker, who swept home the decisive goal.<\/p>\n<h3>The key moments from Bramall Lane<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>19: <strong>CHANCE<\/strong>! Rodrigo Gomes flashes in a cross to Marshall Munetsi, whose powerful first-time shot is straight at Michael Cooper.<\/li>\n<li>50: <strong>NO PENALTY<\/strong>! Mateus Mane flicks the ball towards goal &#8211; and it hits the outstretched hand of Mark McGuinness, but referee Rob Jones signals for a corner.<\/li>\n<li>55: <strong>WIDE<\/strong>! Hugo Bueno seizes on a loose ball and shoots from the edge of the box, with the curl taking his effort narrowly past the right-hand post.<\/li>\n<li>60: Ladislav Krejci pulls Sydie Peck to ground, but avoids a second booking.<\/li>\n<li>67: <strong>CLOSE<\/strong>! Blades debutant Jordan Ayew flashes a shot across the face of goal and just past the post.<\/li>\n<li>90: <strong>GOAL<\/strong>! Raul Jimenez sweeps in the winner from close range to send the away fans wild.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Wilder: Top-end Championship teams can punish you if you switch off<\/h3>\n<p><em><strong>Sheffield United<\/strong> manager <strong>Chris Wilder<\/strong> speaking to Sky Sports:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s top-end Championship football when you&#8217;re playing teams like we have done today. They punish you if you just switch off for a moment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The players maybe didn&#8217;t get what they deserved from the game, but that&#8217;s how the Championship is at times, so we have to roll with that and handle it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Especially in the second half, we limited a very attacking team to virtually nothing. I don&#8217;t think Michael [Cooper] had a save to make.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s just disappointing, with the positions we&#8217;ve got into, that we&#8217;ve not found that little bit of quality to get our noses in front.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Peixoto: Subs were important for Wolves &#8211; Jimenez is key for us<\/h3>\n<p><em><strong>Wolves <\/strong>head coach <strong>Cesar Peixoto<\/strong> speaking to Sky Sports:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s an important win for us. We knew it was going to be difficult to play in this stadium against this team. Today, the team was a team for 90 minutes. It was important the guys who came from the bench pushed in the last minutes to try to score. We scored and we won.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think we deserved it because we were the better team, but it was a difficult game for us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>On Jimenez<\/em>: &#8220;He&#8217;s 35 years old, so we have to manage him the best way. He&#8217;s a key player for us. This week, we have three games, so we had to manage the options. Raul, as a captain, helped the team from the bench, not only with the goal he scored, but he helped to defend the set-pieces.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>What the result means and next fixtures&#8230;<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skysports.com\/football\/news\/11095\/13584353\/sheffield-united-wolverhampton-wanderers\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raul Jimenez came off the bench to score a 90th-minute winner and earn Wolves a&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4464,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4463","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4463","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4463"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4463\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4463"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
