Wolves restore 11-point lead

Wolverhampton Wanderers swept aside Sheffield United 3-0 to restore their 11-point lead at the top of the Championship yesterday morning (Singapore time).

Nuno Espirito Santo's men set up their 21st victory of the season after taking the lead in the fifth minute through Ruben Neves, with Diogo Jota's 13th goal of the season on the half hour doubling their advantage.
