A Kenny Miller goal in the 67`th minute was enough to cause the shock of the Premiership Season as Wolves beat Manchester United 1-0.

	Michael Oakes	A real contender for the Man Of The Match Award. Oakes made several superb saves to take the pressure off Wolves.
	Lee Naylor	Defended like a man possessed along with Irwin, Butler and Craddock. Dealt well with Ronaldo when he switched sides.
	Denis Irwin	A superb performance from the Ex-United star. Made a couple of last ditch tackles to deny Van Nistlerooy.
	Paul Butler	Booked for an early challenge on Van Nistlerooy, but dealt well with everything thrown at him from then on.
	Jody Craddock	Held the line well and matched everything the United strikers threw at him.
	Alex Rae	A performance of pure grit and determination. How is Rae not in the Scotland squad? Man Of The Match
	Mark Kennedy	Improved performance from the Irish Winger. Made one superb defensive header shortly after Wolves scored.
	Paul Ince	Usual determined performance. Lead the team from strength to strength and gave his opinion to the United fans at the end.
	Kenny Miller	Had a tough first half, but took his goal very well and deserved to be on the winning side.
	Steffen Iversen	Another player who came close to winning the Man Of The Match award. Won almost everything in the air before being replaced by Ganea.
	Shaun Newton	Tried hard and defended extremely well for a winger. Gave Irwin plenty of cover. Again, deserved to be on the winning side.
	Vio Ganea.	Replaced Steffen Iversen and was booked with his first tackle in Premiership Football. Tried to kill the game but not enough time to make a real impact.
	Sub 2	Not Used.
	Sub 3	Not Used.
