Wolverhampton Wanderers broke their 11-game losing streak in the Premier League by securing a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Manchester United. Ladislav Krejci equalized Joshua Zirkzee’s goal, allowing the league’s bottom team to leave Old Trafford with a well-deserved point. Zirkzee’s deflected shot, marking his first home goal in over a year, put Wolves in the lead after 27 minutes.
Krejci, the Wolves defender, redeemed himself with a superb header just before half-time, helping his team avoid another defeat. Despite Patrick Dorgu’s late disallowed goal for offside, Manchester United finished the year in sixth place, missing the opportunity to level points with fourth-placed Liverpool. Wolves, however, remain at the bottom of the table with only three points this season.
In another match, Newcastle United ended 2025 on a positive note by defeating Burnley 3-1 at Turf Moor. Joelinton’s quick goal was followed by Yoane Wissa’s first top-flight goal for Newcastle, and Josh Laurent’s 23rd-minute strike narrowed the gap for Burnley. Despite Burnley’s dominance in the second half, Bruno Guimaraes capitalized on Martin Dubravka’s mistake to secure a stoppage-time victory for Newcastle.
The defeat pushed Burnley to 19th place, trailing 17th-placed Nottingham Forest by six points, while Newcastle’s second away win of the season propelled them to 10th in the standings. Newcastle coach Eddie Howe expressed satisfaction with the win, acknowledging the pressure his team faced and praising their response. Howe highlighted the team’s fast start, quality goals, and resilience in the nervy second half, emphasizing their character to secure the victory.
