Jimenez’s 90th‑Minute Strike Sends Wolves Past Sheffield United

Peixoto said the stoppage‑time goal showed the squad’s belief and boosted their confidence ahead of the Black Country derby.

Overview

  • Raul Jimenez came off the bench to score in the 90th minute after Kieran Trippier’s cutback reached Tommy Doyle who helped the ball on for Jimenez to finish.
  • The winner secured Wolves’ first Championship clean sheet and moved them to seventh in the table with 11 points from six matches.
  • Jimenez told Sky Sports that the team “never stopped believing” while Cesar Peixoto praised the side’s “soul” and said the result is important for confidence.
  • All three substitutes — Trippier, Doyle and Jimenez — were credited with changing the game and underlined Wolves’ roster depth in a match they struggled to control.
  • The goal was Jimenez’s first from open play since his free transfer return to Wolves and it arrives as the club prepares for next Sunday’s high‑profile derby with West Brom.
