Kobbie Mainoo scored a sensational injury time winner as Manchester United recorded a memorable victory at Molineux.

Kobbie Mainoo chose a perfect time to score his first ever Premier League goal. He stepped up in the 97th minute to score past Jose Sa to make it 4-3 to Manchester United.

It was an incredible solo strike, with some smart off-ball movement from Omari Forson to make it possible.

The reaction to Mainoo’s goal has come at a rapid pace, with manager Erik ten Hag lauding him as ‘incredible’.
