Wolverhampton Wanderers Vs. Manchester United: Elokobi Levels Matters

Wolverhampton's George Elokobi didn't exactly cover himself in glory when he let Nani wander by him to open the scoring, but he's just made up for that in spectacular fashion. When United were caught out by a short corner, the left back powered upfield to turn in a Matt Jarvis cross with the visiting defence at sixes and sevens - Nemanja Vidic actually was on the far post and ran away, which is exactly where Elokobi put his header. Edwin van der Sar had no chance whatsoever as the ball flew into the back of the net, and the game is now tied at one apiece.

It's a very open match right now, which United will not want as they're obviously the better team. Both sides look perfectly capable of scoring plenty more. Will Manchester United miss Rio Ferdinand today? Jonathan Evans isn't doing a particularly convincing job at centre back right now.
