Wolverhampton Wanderers beat Manchester United 2-0 in the 18th round of the 2024-2025 English Premier League (EPL) at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, England, on the 27th (Korea time). Wolverhampton, who won on the day, were out of the relegation zone with four wins, three draws and 11 losses and 15 points.
Hwang Hee-chan started the game on the bench and entered the stadium in the 29th minute of the second half when he was replaced by Gonzalo Gedes.

Helping Hwang Hee-chan to score was Matheus Cunha, who was considered his best partner last season. In the counterattack situation, Cunha could shoot himself, but he passed the pass to Hwang Hee-chan, who was certainly empty, and Hwang Hee-chan finished it without a mistake.
On this day, Cunha also showed a great skill in leading a corner kick to a direct score. Cunha's corner kick situation was a scene where Son Heung-min's corner goal overlapped.
Manchester United conceded a corner goal to Son Heung-min in the quarterfinals of the English Football League (EFL) Cup on the 20th.

As such, Manchester United is playing an important role in finding confidence by giving up consecutive goals to the Korean Premier Leaguer. Hwang Hee-chan showed his potential under the new manager system by scoring his first goal this season. Son Heung-min is also one step closer to winning his first career championship as he beat Manchester United to reach the semifinals of the EFL Cup.
