da prosport bet: The midfielder struck a sumptuous curler in the 97th minute to bring an enthralling game to a fittingly epic end
da blaze casino: No one does collapses like Manchester United, but no one quite does epic finishes like them either. The Red Devils produced one of their best performances of the season and took a 3-1 lead at Wolves, only to concede twice in nine minutes. All that hard work looked to have gone to waste until Kobbie Mainoo stepped up and curled an exquisite finish into the bottom corner, snatching a logic-defying 4-3 win.
Marcus Rashford was looking to put his nightclub shenanigans behind him, and exactly a week after he was seen slamming tequila shots in Belfast, he was back unleashing the shots United pay him to convert as he rounded off a flowing team move to fire United ahead in the fifth minute.
Rasmus Hojlund, who had fed Rashford for the opener and led the attack with power and intelligence, bundled in a fortuitous second midway through the first half to put Erik ten Hag's side in total control.
They should have put the game out of sight and had to dig their heels in after the break, with the outstanding Lisandro Martinez clearing a shot off the line to preserve the two-goal margin. Casemiro was also excellent, but gave away a penalty which allowed Pablo Sarabia to halve the deficit.
A Scott McTominay header restored the two-goal cushion, only for a soft Max Kilman goal to give United another nervy finish. Pedro Neto then sent Molineux wild with a 95th-minute equaliser, but just two minutes later, it was another Manchester lad who had the final say, Mainoo proving that he is the latest sensation to come out of United's academy.
GOAL rates United's players from Molineux…
Getty ImagesGoalkeeper & Defence
Andre Onana (5/10):
Bizarre movement for Kilman's goal. Even before conceding, looked uncomfortable.
Diogo Dalot (7/10):
Strong in both halves of the pitch. Played his part in the opening goal and and showed good anticipation in defence.
Raphael Varane (7/10):
Got United out of a few scrapes with timely interventions.
Lisandro Martinez (9/10):
A colossus. Made countless interceptions, his best when he cleared Kilman's effort off the line.
Luke Shaw (7/10):
Excellent in the first half, dovetailing effectively with Rashford.

Kobbie Mainoo (8/10):
Given licence to create more as Casemiro sat deeper. Distributed the ball well without dominating the game, but then produced an unbelievable finish to win the game.
Casemiro (7/10):
Colossal, putting in his best performance all season. Loses a mark for giving away the penalty, but Neto knew what he was doing.
Bruno Fernandes (6/10):
Effective as a playmaker, able to create more due to the security he had behind him.
Getty ImagesAttack
Alejandro Garnacho (5/10):
The one weak link. Selfish at times, erratic and clumsy at others.
Rasmus Hojlund (8/10):
A nuisance for Wolves all night and the perfect foil for Rashford.
Marcus Rashford (7/10):
Just like his last visit to Molineux, Rashford begged forgiveness for his trespasses with a decisive performance. Took his goal superbly and dazzled down the left wing.
Getty ImagesSubs & Manager
Scott McTominay (7/10):
Did what was asked of him by scoring, albeit with an unorthodox header.
Antony (5/10):
Failed to do anything useful and didn't do his defensive work, paving the way for Wolves' comeback.
Omari Forson (N/A):
Came on in added time.
Harry Maguire (N/A):
Came on in added time.
Jonny Evans (N/A):
Came on in added time.
Erik ten Hag (6/10):
A superb display for 65 minutes, but his substitutions allowed Wolves a way back. He will be extra grateful to Mainoo for bailing the team out.
