The surge of goals in the second half against Wolves had a beneficial effect on the team’s goal difference, which now stands at four, with 26 goals scored and 22 conceded.
As Brown explains, Sir Alex Ferguson always encouraged his teams to pursue additional goals. Wes acknowledges that this approach could be confusing for players at times, but it proved essential for long-term success.
“In the final six matches of the season, if you find yourself two points ahead and end up drawing, you can still feel assured that you’re on top of the league because of goal difference.
“Whether facing Arsenal or Chelsea in a tight race, it provided a psychological edge over your rivals.”
