    Better - and you feel that the Blades could nick one back before half-time yet. A flurry of corners are dangerous and Rui Patricio has to make a save, a comfortable one, from a powerful header on target.

    Almost a total fluke for the hosts, one they could do with. George Baldock's cross is not great but it ends up being a shot, Rui Patricio has to reach back and tip it over.

    Raul Jimenez is controling the game. Somebody has to get tight to him and not let him turn. Finally, John Egan has said 'no!' and has just taken that yellow card.

    Just to compound a horrendous start for my Blades-heavy fantasy football defence, John Egan is booked for trying to nick it from in front of Raul Jimenez but only tripping him up.

    When Raul Jimenez gets into the box he has that awareness to pick out Pedro Neto. Yet again it was great work from him.

    Raúl Jimenez is playing in his 100th match for Wolves in all competitions, his 77th in the Premier League.

    He already is Wolverhampton's Premier League all-time leading goalscorer on 31 goals:

    31 goals - Raul Jimenez

    22 - Steven Fletcher

    18 - Kevin Doyle

    Good again from the hosts as they have some concerted pressure - John Fleck's header causes problems in the Wolves goalmouth but keeper Rui Patricio gets a generous free-kick his way.

    That was much better from Sheffield United. It's a wonderful ball in from Enda Stevens, who just opened up the space.

    Willem: Jack O'Connell missed all friendlies and it shows. Hasn't been able to get a single decent pass away.

    Robin: Let's not forget Wolves were pushing top 4 at points last season, with the added strain of the Europa League on a small squad. Could be a serious contender for UCL football.

    Better - a brilliant ball in from Enda Stevens almost gets the hosts back in business but goalscorer Romain Saiss heads it away well.

    Ah, the flag was up anyway.

    Raul Jimenez was almost in again through the heart of the Blades backline. I can't remember seeing them as disjointed as this all last season.

    Wolves are looking very good though it has to be said.

    That was a fantastic passage of play from Wolves. So many big clubs are going to be watching Adama Traore. He's a class act. We saw a nice little give-and-go and a wonderful flick. He's started this game at an unbelievable level!

    Why not? Raul Jimenez tries his luck with a left-footed curler from the edge of the area and it's just over the top.

    Such a lack of drive and intensity in the home side. That's what conceding two quick goals can do to you but they've got to step this up. It's so easy for Wolves.

    Better - Wolves have a free-kick which Joao Moutinho whips in and this time a red-and-white shirt meets it to clear.

    It's a very tough act to follow in Dean Henderson but Aaron Ramsdale would have come into this game thinking, 'I can play my way into the new season' and it's just happened so quickly.

    Two goals inside five minutes! He wouldn't have been expecting that sort of start.

    Nothing gets decided on day one...

    Adama Traore is many things, most of them great, but I'm not so sure he's a wing-back. Twice now he's played a blind backpass and nearly played his side into trouble. Oli McBurnie is nearly on to it but gets cut out.

    Dan Hayes: I got nailed for saying SUFC could be an outside bet to get dragged into a relegation battle.... 7 of the teams they finished above scored more goals than them. If losing their GK costs them defensive stability, even for a couple of months, they are going to struggle.

    It's literally your job to tell us how good it was Michael.

    But we know what you mean. BOOOOM.

    I can't tell you how good a finish that was from Raul Jimenez earlier. The execution was brilliant. I could watch it all day.
