Pablo Sarabia brought Manchester United back to earth with a beautiful late free kick.
The Old Trafford Faithful still arrived in the glory of the Europa League Comback on Thursday evening against Lyon.
But they received a brutal reality check and a memory of what a worrying season this has been for the Red Devils.
Super Sub Sarabia had only been on the field for three minutes when a goal scored that was not maintained with a largely forgetting match.
And just as Newcastle did last week, De Wolves deserved their first competition-double about United since the 1979-80 season.
It gave Vorror Pereira's men a fifth straight flight victory – the first time they have enjoyed such a run since 1970.
How United could do with such a run – this was a fifteenth defeat in the competition this period.
And to think that they could play the next term Champions League football if they could win their next three European matches.
It was probably always quiet after the amazing scenes here about 64 hours earlier.
But the believers had expected a little more than this.
Wolves were forced to replace their keeper when Jose Sa was injured in the warm-up for the competition.
His replacement Dan Bentley was perhaps busier if he had stayed on the couch.
United had opportunities but did not succeed in taking them – and the vast majority did not even hit the target.
How often did we hear that in the Prem this season.
United was better off a forgotten first half, but Emmanuel Aggbadou came over to deny Alejandro Garnacho when he got a goal.
A cross by Patrick Dorgu designed stand in skipper Victor Lindelof and Rasmus Hojlund while it drove wide from the distant pole.
The home crowd only came to life when some heroes from Thursday evening – Harry Maguire, Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro – got off the bank to warm up
A Christian Eriksen free kick tipped by Bentley and another decent cross from Dorgu went beg,
It must be crossed Amorim's spirit to throw Harry Maguire again as a center.
Kobbie Mainoo tried an attempt that did not match his famous equalizer against Lyon-But this time he was just outside the target.
Hojlund locked on a pass by Harry Amass and turned his husband beautiful, but dallyed too long and had Toti Gomes made a last ditch tackle.
That was the cue for Ruben Amorim to make a triple replacement with skipper Fernandes one of the changes.
Without their Portuguese talisman, United routinely has no creativity – no wonder that he has missed only one league match for this.
He immediately squeaked them up and was involved in the structure when Garnacho Low Cross just awarded the On-Rushing Hojlund
The DANE of £ 72 million has only one goal in its last 28 performances – dating from mid -December.
That turned out to be his last chance to find the net here – because he was replaced halfway through the second half by younger Chido Obi.
Fernandes comes to save from United so often and when he came at the end of Garnacho's pull-back, everyone expected him to score.
Yet he was completely wrong and ruined his shot miles wide – which summarized about the day of United.
A few minutes later, Matheus Cunha was pulled down by Eriksen on the edge of the box.
Sarabia had been on the field only three minutes after replacing beach Larsen, but supported himself – and with good reason.
His left -wing free kick was only his second touch, but it was almost impossible to stop when it curled in the top corner past Andre Onana.
Despite six minutes of added time, this time there was no late rescue act from United.
“It's your round Vorror” sang the jubilant Wolves fans.
Their own Portuguese boss likes to go to the local pubs in Wolverhampton to enjoy a drink with fans.
After five wins on the jump – and a rare double over United – he and his players would have been the toast of the city last night.
