Ruben Neves scored a spectacular and by now signature 25-yard goal to draw Wolves level against Manchester United in a thrilling tie at Molineux.

Neves, who has now scored 10 goals from outside the area during his time at the club, poised on the edge of the box as the corner was played short.

In a well-choreographed move, the ball then fell to him in space on the edge of the penalty area from where he fizzed a shot against the underside of the crossbar.

The goal came moments after Raul Jimenez had been denied by the inside of the woodwork as Wolves regained a foothold in the match.

Anthony Martial had given United the lead midway through the first half with a brilliant finish off his weaker foot. Watch Neves’ goal below:
