Wolverhampton Wanderers continued their infamous streak of 15 consecutive league games without a win.
wolverhampton lost 1-4 to Manchester United in the 15th round home game of the 2025-26 English Premier League (EPL) season held at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, England on the 9th (Korean time). Hwang Hee-chan, who started on the bench, ended up missing the game.
Wolverhampton gave up Bruno Fernandez’s first goal in the 25th minute of the first half. Jeanrichner Bellegarde’s equalizer in extra time seemed to balance the game, but the team fell apart after giving up consecutive goals to Brian Mbomo and Mason Mount in the 6th and 17th minutes of the second half.In the 37th minute of the second half, a penalty kick was awarded due to a handball foul by defender Jerson Mosquera. Fernandez, who played as a kicker, completed the 4-1 victory wiht a neat goal.
Wolverhampton has yet to secure a win with 2 draws and 13 losses (2 points) since the opening of the EPL. in particular, they have recently been mired in eight consecutive losses and have been unable to accumulate points. The league ranking is, of course, lowest. There is a 8-point gap with 19th-place Burnley (10 points), so relegation is likely.

Middlesbrough is demonstrating strong form in the English Championship (EFL),despite recently conceding a penalty. In stark contrast,Wolverhampton Wanderers are struggling,currently enduring a five-game losing streak in the premier League.
The BBC highlights a pattern of instability at Wolverhampton, noting, “Wolverhampton have appointed five managers over four years. In less than a year,the leadership changed to manager Gary O’Neill,manager Ferreira,and manager Edwards. They sold star players and only replaced the manager without being able to replace them.” https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67629988
Wolverhampton has experienced a meaningful exodus of key players in recent years, including Raul Jimenez, ruben Neves, Adama traore, pedro Neto, and joao moutinho. Crucially, the club has failed to adequately reinvest the funds generated from these sales. Last season saw Rayan Ait-Nouri and Matheus Cunha depart for Manchester City and Manchester United respectively, with limited subsequent investment in replacements. https://www.wolves.co.uk/news/2023/08/matheus-cunha-joins-manchester-united/
This trend has left Wolverhampton on the brink of a deeply undesirable record. The longest winless streak in top-flight history remains bolton’s 22-game run in the 1902-03 season. In the Premier League era, Sheffield United holds the record for the longest winless streak with 17 consecutive games in the 2020-21 season.https://www.premierleague.com/news/2184948
Should Wolverhampton fail to secure a victory in their 16th Premier League match of the season, they will equal the record for the longest winless start to a Premier League campaign, currently held by Queens Park Rangers (QPR) from the 2012-13 season – a season which also featured Korean footballer Park Ji-sung. https://www.qpr.co.uk/news/club-news/qpr-history-longest-winless-run/
