Matheus Cunha stars in Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 Manchester United Victory The Brazilian forward played a huge part in both goals, showing his quality and level-headedness. Cunha opened the scoring with a corner that directly crept in after a split-second of uncertainty from United keeper André Onana. He provided the assist for Hwang Hee-Chan in stoppage time to make it 2-0 as Wolves closed out a fully deserved victory. United’s chances then were hit in the early second half with the dismissal of Bruno Fernandes. Fernandes saw red after picking up a second yellow for a rash challenge on Nelson Semedo, leaving his team in a tough spot. Hollie Pearne-Webb — The incident was not just a turning point in the game but also a microcosm of a larger trend with United’s discipline issues this term. But with Fernandes absent for the next couple of fixtures, it forces United to consider a rethink. Wolves managed to win against Manchester United to get out of the relegation zone. Ruben Amorim has managed to stabilize the team after a period of turmoil. The fans partied in celebration of their new acquisition, and a hint at renewed faith and aspirations for the remainder of the campaign. Ruben Amorim’s reign as head coach has started well, with two wins out of two since he took the reins. His tactical nous seems to be appealing to the players, creating that unit that was on display with their performance against United. These are early days but bode well for Amorim, who will be hoping his tactics will take Wolves on the upward trajectory. The results have been instantaneous, but his ability to handle the squad looks an immediate challenge for Amorim. That will obviously complicate preparation for the matches, particularly if Fernandes is one of those key players missing for United. While he’s adept with the press, Amorim now has to handle a convoluted schedule of 30 players from which 13 or 14 can make the cut and several injuries that demand his attention in order to keep the bird’s momentum on a tightening — if still comparatively weak — Premier League mid-section. Following the match, fan sentiment has shifted anew, with many fans now feeling much more optimistic about the team’s chances going forward. However, the display against Manchester United showcased the squad’s potential and has given the fans a much-needed boost. Fans want to know if Wolves can sustain this form and avoid the relegation battle that has hung over the club. They have lost four of their last five league matches — and all the signs point to this being more than a 90-minute dip in form, with a long-term malaise evident at much of Manchester United’s play. Not getting points regularly though has placed enormous stress on the players and management. Some fans have been left asking just what’s wrong with the club, and those mutters grew into shouts after the loss to Wolves, as tactical undertones in the team came under the microscope alongside their effectiveness. Wolves in particular drew attention to the worrying trend among the United squad. Seemingly an abundance of players underachieving, workhorses like Leny Yoro failing to rise in key stages. That there is neither rhyme nor reason to the team under their current management is troubling. Ex-Spurs defender Amorim was seen as the man to develop the next generation of players, but back-to-back defeats from his first two games have made for uncomfortable viewing. There is an air of palpable discontent among the fanbase, turning attention beyond the players to the management of the club and their lack of accountability for the missteps that have brought City to this point. A dangerous cocktail of mismatched player capabilities and matchday performances could undermine the foundations of the entire organisation. Next up? Manchester United have a huge game on their hands with an in-form Newcastle United. The club now has the chance to right some of its current wrongs with this matchup, however, a significant upturn in performance levels will be needed to make any sort of contest of it. United need to not only dig themselves out of this slump but also start churning out the necessary points to improve their league standing. Marcus Rashford has been out of action since he was axed from the squad, and that’s another major problem for United. And his exclusion adds to questioning regarding Amorim’s selection process, as well as Pereira’s future within the team. This is something United will need to deal with quickly in order to restore confidence among fans and those at the club. With the next fixture approaching, finding out what went wrong for United tactically is essential. The team needs to find a way out of these difficulties and become competitive again. But the recent game with Wolves showed multiple problems that Amorim must fix if the team want to return to the top section of the Premier League table again. Both Wolves and Manchester United are at crucial points in their seasons, and this is just one of the many waypoints on the twisting road towards whatever success — or otherwise — their respective campaigns may yield this time around.Ohio State AD: Ryan Day ‘absolutely’ back in 2025
The Detroit Lions have equaled the franchise record for most consecutive victories and stand alone atop the NFC standings. They still have plenty of obstacles to clear to remain at that perch. Even the NFC North remains up for grabs and they'll try to create a little more separation when they host the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night. The Lions (11-1), who have won 10 straight, haven't been able to shake free from Minnesota (10-2) or Green Bay (9-3). Detroit will host Minnesota, which has won five straight, in the regular-season finale next month. The Packers have remained in contention by winning seven of their last eight, with the only loss coming at the hands of the Lions. Detroit opened up a 21-point lead early in the third quarter and held on for a 24-14 victory. Lions coach Dan Campbell says the fun really begins now. "The best part of all of this -- we're in playoff football right now, that's where we're at," he said. "We're in December, and our schedule says that. Man, we play tough opponent after tough opponent -- we've got plenty coming up. So, man, this is the type of stuff that you live for and it's also the type of stuff that gets you ready for the tournament. "So, yeah, we're a resilient bunch and nothing's going to change that. We've just got to worry about the one in front of us." Detroit is coming off a 23-20 win over Chicago on Thanksgiving Day in which it nearly blew a 16-point lead. The Bears' poor clock management cost them an opportunity to send the game into overtime and led to coach Matt Eberflus' firing. The Lions have been hit with a wave of injuries, particularly on the defensive side. They signed four players over the past week to fortify their depth. "I know the elephant in the room is all the injuries that have happened with us on the defensive side," defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn said. "Our personnel staff does a really good job of acquiring players that fit exactly who we are. I would say this, it's not the playbook that's the most important thing for these guys to come in and learn. It's the style of play that we have and that's easy to learn." Jared Goff has thrown for six touchdowns and zero interceptions in the past three games after tossing five picks against the Houston Texans on Nov. 10. The Packers also played on Thanksgiving, defeating Miami 30-17. Green Bay opened up a 24-3 halftime lead as Jordan Love threw two touchdown passes to Jayden Reed. Now the Packers face a Detroit team that has defeated them in five of the last six meetings. "With most good teams, they play the game the right way," Green Bay coach Matt LaFleur said. "Certainly, Detroit's been doing that for a couple years now. That's who they are and that's who we are as well. It should be a great game on Thursday night." The Packers might have to win via a shootout, considering the Lions are averaging a league-best 31.9 points per game (Green Bay ranks eighth at 26.5). Stopping the running game will be key, according to LaFleur. "They're two very dynamic backs. (David) Montgomery, he's going to beat you up physically and the other guy (Jahmyr Gibbs), you've got to try to corral because he can take it the distance," he said. "Jared (Goff) is playing at an MVP level, so they've got a really potent offense." Lions offensive tackle Taylor Decker (knee) and three defensive linemen -- DJ Reader (shoulder), Josh Paschal (knee) and Levi Onwezurike (hamstring) -- didn't practice on Tuesday. Offensive guard Elgton Jenkins (knee), Linebacker Edgerrin Cooper (hamstring) and cornerback Corey Ballentine (knee) missed the Packers' practice. --Field Level Media

Teen actor Hudson Meek, who appeared in ‘Baby Driver,’ dies after falling from moving vehicleBy STEPHEN WHYNO LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Austin Seibert missed his second extra point of the game with 21 seconds left after Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin connected on an 86-yard touchdown, Juanyeh Thomas returned the ensuing onside kick attempt for a touchdown and the Dallas Cowboys pulled out a 34-26 victory Sunday that extended the Washington Commanders’ skid to three games. Seibert, who missed the previous two games with a right hip injury, was wide left on the point-after attempt following a low snap. Thomas then took the kick back 43 yards as the Cowboys (4-7) ended their losing streak at five in improbable fashion. Part of that was the play of backup Cooper Rush, who threw for 247 yards and two TDs in his third start in place of starter Dak Prescott. Part was also the defense forcing two turnovers, as Chauncey Golston ripped the ball out of Brian Robinson Jr.’s hands for what was called an interception of Daniels in the second quarter, and Donovan Wilson stripped John Bates midway through the fourth. KaVonte Turpin provided the fireworks with a spinning, 99-yard kickoff return TD seconds after Daniels found Zach Ertz in the end zone and scored on a 2-point conversion to cut the deficit to three with 3:02 left. In the final three minutes alone, the Commanders (7-5) scored 10 points and allowed Thomas’ TD. All that after the score was 10-9 through three quarters before madness ensued. Washington’s playoff hopes that looked solid not long ago are now in serious jeopardy after losing to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Dallas. Before the scoring outburst late, much of this defeat had to do with Daniels and the offense not being able to find any kind of a rhythm. The Cowboys did, despite playing without their two best offensive linemen, top cornerback and starting tight end. Rush’s 6-yard pass to Jalen Tolbert was Dallas’ first third-quarter TD of the season, and his 22-yarder to Luke Schoonmaker came after Wilson’s forced fumble. Daniels finished 25 of 38 for 274 yards, including his second interception of the game on a failed Hail Mary as the clock expired. Rico Dowdle ran 19 times for 86 yards to spring the upset for the Cowboys, who were 10 1/2-point underdogs on BetMGM Sportsbook. Cowboys: LG Tyler Smith was inactive with ankle and knee injuries. ... RG Zack Martin (ankle), CB Trevon Diggs (groin/knee) and TE Jake Ferguson (concussion) were ruled out prior to game day and did not travel for the game.
