United stunned by Wolves

LONDON - Alex Ferguson offered a blunt assessment of his team after Manchester United's Premier League invincibility was ended by bottom side Wolverhampton Wanderers who claimed a shock 2-1 win at Molineux on Saturday.

Goals by George Elokobi and Kevin Doyle condemned United to its first league defeat of the season and deprived it of a club-record 30th straight league match without defeat - a run stretching back to last April.

Leader United is now four points clear of second-placed Arsenal who had earlier thrown away a 4-0 lead to draw 4-4 at Newcastle United in an astonishing game.
