Pogba misses pen as United held at Wolves

Tuesday, 20 August 2019 08:30

Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers after Paul Pogba missed a second-half penalty.

Anthony Martial gave the visitors a first-half lead in the Premier League clash at Molineux, capping off a flowing move with a left-foot finish.

However, Wolves levelled matters in the 55th minute thanks to a stunning strike from Rubin Neves that bounced over the line off the crossbar.

Pogba was then fouled by Conor Coady in the box but saw his low, powerful effort from the spot saved by Rui Patricio.

The result means United have taken four points from their opening two games of the season, with Wolves on two following consecutive draws.
