Hwang Hee-chan scores attacking points in six consecutive official matches
Hwang Hee-chan"s sixth consecutive attacking point in English professional soccer saw Wolverhampton fall to the bottom of the league, Sheffield United.
Wolverhampton lost 1-2 away to Sheffield United in the 11th round of the 2023-2024 English Professional Soccer Premier League at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England, on May 5 (local time).
Hwang Hee-chan, who has been all over the place in his last five official matches, played the full 90 minutes and recorded one assist, but was unable to save his team from defeat.
Hwang"s recent run of three goals and two assists in five games from rounds seven through 11 of the league, plus a goal in the League Cup, has seen him record an offensive point in six consecutive games.
Hwang provided the assist in the 44th minute of the second half, when his team was down 0-1, to break the 1-1 tie.
Hwang got a foot on a cross from the right flank, and the ball was headed in by Jean-Luc Bellegarde.
Bellegarde"s shot bounced off a defender and into the back of the net, but the goal was disallowed as a goal for Bellegarde, giving Hwang an assist.
Hwang now has six goals and two assists in the league this season.
However, the game ended 2-1 in favor of Sheffield Wednesday, thanks to a penalty kick in the 10th minute of second-half stoppage time.
This season"s promoted team, Sheffield, hasn"t won a game since the start of the season with one draw and nine defeats, but after their first win of the season against Wolverhampton, they are still in the bottom 20.
Wolverhampton, with three wins, three draws, and five losses, and 12 points, remain in 13th place.
