Raúl Jiménez's firepower gets wet against Sheffield.

Mexican Raúl Jiménez couldn't increase his goal tally this Tuesday against Sheffield United (0-1) in a defeat that distances Wolverhampton Wanderers from the dream of competing in the Champions League.

Mexican Raúl Jiménez couldn't increase his goal tally this Tuesday against Sheffield United (0-1) in a defeat that distances Wolverhampton Wanderers from the dream of competing in the Champions League.

About the Match

The Mexican striker failed to score against a very solid Sheffield defense that barely allowed chances for the Wolves and took the three points in the last minute.

The clearest opportunity for the Wolves came from Rubén Neves with a free kick from the edge of the box that hit the crossbar. That foul resulted from a great combination by Jiménez in the midfield that allowed Diogo Jota to start a run and be fouled when reaching the edge of the box.

In the last minute of the match, a header from John Egan, who scored for the second consecutive game, secured the three points for the home team.

This defeat does not help Wolves take advantage of Leicester City's stumble, who could only draw with Arsenal, and the chances of Nuno Espirito Santo's team to qualify for the Champions League next year are fading away.

The Wolves remain sixth, with a one-point advantage over Sheffield United and two over Arsenal. However, they are seven points behind Leicester, who currently holds the fourth Champions League spot.

In the other Tuesday afternoon match, Burnley took the three points from West Ham United's stadium thanks to a goal by Jay Rodriguez. West Ham continues to struggle and is in sixteenth place with 31 points, four above the relegation zone.
