Kevin Doyle was certain Wolves were capable of ending Manchester United’s 29-match unbeaten run at Molineux.

Indeed, the Black Country outfit even managed to complete their amazing 2-1 triumph despite falling a goal behind after only three minutes, bouncing back magnificently to add United’s name to a list of scalps that also includes Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool.

“You wouldn’t blame anyone for thinking Manchester United would win but we said before the game that someone has got to do it,” said the Republic of Ireland star.

“I just felt it was set up for it. They were top, unbeaten for such a long time and going for a record, and we were bottom.

“It is great beating them but it won’t make or break our season.

“We need to be taking points off the teams that are around us in the table – and we had better start doing it soon.” Not that the discussion around the victory will end any time soon in the Wolves dressing room.

There is the small matter of who actually scored the winner to sort out yet.

Doyle claims he got his head to Nenad Milijas’ 40th-minute free-kick. George Elokobi is equally certain it was his.

And, after having what he thought was a goal against Chelsea earlier in the season credited to Blues defender Jose Bosingwa instead, Elokobi is not in a mood to concede to the Irishman.

“I say I scored twice,” argued the defender, who had levelled that early Nani effort when he steered Matt Jarvis’ cross into the bottom corner. “I was denied the winner against Chelsea so I am determined to keep hold of this one.”
