Wolves beat Sheffield Utd, Preston sack Heckingbottom

Wolves secured a 1-0 victory over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane, thanks to a late goal from Raul Jimenez. The Mexico striker came off the bench in the 63rd minute and capitalized on a misplaced Tommy Doyle shot in the 90th minute. Jimenez had initially shot wide twice, and Doyle's shot was also deflected off target. This win moves Wolves to seventh place in the Championship table, after a third win in six second-tier games.

Meanwhile, Preston sacked manager Paul Heckingbottom after a 1-0 home defeat to Lincoln. Preston has lost six of their opening seven league matches and currently sits second-bottom of the table. The club statement expressed disappointment with the team's performance, despite significant investment in the squad. Paul Heckingbottom leaves Preston with thanks and best wishes, praising his professionalism and work ethic during his tenure. Jason Euell has taken charge on an interim basis until a permanent appointment is made.
