Manchester United's set-piece curse strikes again as Matheus Cunha becomes the second player in three games to score directly from a corner against them in loss at Wolves.
Leicester are looking a threat on the counter - helped by the amount of space Liverpool are leaving at the back and Stephy Mavididi again leads the charge up the pitch before flicking a curled pass into the box but Patson Daka just can't quite reach it.Liverpool fans don't need to worry, Salah will score a couple. What they do need to worry about is what the team is capable of when Salah is missing.
Well who saw this coming? It has been all Liverpool but Leicester take the lead with their first attack.Liverpool have been quite majestic and results today give them a bit more incentive to get another three points. The points were sealed in the eighth minute of added time when, as United chased an equaliser, Wolves broke and Cunha squared the ball for Hwang Hee-chan to make it 2-0.
The Brazilian had actually tried the corner trick in the first-half but on that occasion, United escaped. Critics may argue he should not have been playing as his FA misconduct charge for an incident after the final whistle of the home defeat by Ipswich on 14 December is still to be heard.Leny Yoro had already been booked for cynical foul on the Brazilian before Fernandes followed suit with a tackle that would have greater consequences later in the game.
For, while most would accept this current United squad is deficient in many areas when it comes to competing at the levels co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe demands, repeated failure at the most basic of English traditions is almost inexcusable. Dark humour about a relegation fight remains a joke for now but United are only eight points above the drop zone - and their next two games are against Newcastle at home and Liverpool at Anfield. The joke might be all too real after that.After the opportunity to rate players has closed, the score displayed represents the average from all the submissions by BBC Sport users.All times UK.
