VIDEO: Wolves' Ruben Neves Equalizes Against Manchester United With Sensational Strike
By Karl Rasmussen
Manchester United dominated the first half against Wolves, but the script flipped on itself in the second half. Wolves came out of the locker room far more aggressive, applying pressure to the Manchester United defense that had an easy go of things early on. After a relentless series of crosses, Wolves were able to get on the board after a great pass found Ruben Neves wide open. He struck from the edge of the box, drilling the crossbar and beating David de Gea.

Joao Moutinho was able to get the ball in front of Neves, who did the rest with a magnificent right-footed strike. de Gea had no chance, extending his body as far as he could reach but still falling victim to the perfectly placed shot.
The 22-year-old Portuguese star scored four goals in 35 Premier League appearances last season, but is already on the board with his first goal of the year in just his second game here in 2019.
