Man-of-the-moment Juan Mata was Manchester United’s Emirates FA Cup replay
match-winner against Wolves at Old Trafford.
The Spanish midfielder scored the only goal of the tie in the second half to see United through to a fourth round match, away at either Tranmere Rovers or Watford, who had their replay postponed on Tuesday night.
Mata chipped a sublime finish in the second half after the Reds had suffered a shock in the first 45 minutes when Wolves appeared to open the scoring, through Pedro Neto, only for VAR to cancel it out and help set us up for eventual victory.
Mata started off on the front foot, carrying on where he left off, following his excellent performance against Norwich City. After three minutes, the Spaniard brilliantly threaded a ball through for Daniel James.
James flicked the ball past the on-rushing John Ruddy but the keeper managed to get a hand to the ball and steer it away from danger.
Old Trafford was stunned into initial silence in the 10th minute when Wolves had the ball in United’s net via Neto. The travelling contingent from the Midlands were the ones who were eventually silenced as their celebrations were cut short by VAR.
