Wolves beat Sheffield Utd, Preston sack Heckingbottom
Wolves climbed to seventh after their third win in six championship games as they bid to return to the Premier League following last season's relegation.
In a dramatic 1-0 victory at Bramall Lane, Wolves secured a crucial win against Sheffield United in the Championship. Clutch substitute Raul Jimenez sealed the deal in the final moments of the game, capitalizing on a miscued shot by Tommy Doyle to score the only goal in the 90th minute. This triumph marks Wolves' third win in six second-tier matches and lifts them to seventh place in the table, their best position since last season's relegation.
Meanwhile, Preston North End fired manager Paul Heckingbottom out of a job following a 1-0 home loss to Lincoln City. The team has suffered six defeats in their opening seven league games, placing them second from bottom. In a club statement, Preston acknowledged the squad's investment and Heckingbottom's dedication, but emphasized that the results have fallen short of expectations. Interim boss Jason Euell has been guiding the team until a permanent appointment is finalized.
