Sheffield United vs Wolves

Bramall Lane stayed goalless at the break on Sunday, 13 September 2026, with neither side finding a way through in a tight, scrappy opening period. Wolves looked the more composed outfit without ever really cutting loose, while the home crowd grew restless as United struggled to create anything clear-cut in front of goal. The breakthrough came after the interval, and it proved enough to settle things. Wolves edged it 0-1, a scoreline that tells you most of what you need to know about how cagey this one was. For United, it's another frustrating afternoon on home turf and a result that won't do much for confidence. Wolves, by contrast, will take the three points gladly, even if the performance itself was far from spectacular, and head off into the international break with a bit of momentum behind them.
