Danny Welbeck finally reaches career milestone as Brighton striker closes in on most prolific season with penalty in win over Wolves

Danny Welbeck never managed it at Manchester United. Not at Arsenal either. Never as a breakthrough teenage star, nor as a seasoned big-club front man in his 20s.

At last, 17 years on from his Premier League debut, at the ripe age of 34, he finally did it. His first-half penalty at Wolves took him into double figures in a top-flight campaign for the first time in his near two-decade career.

He managed nine goals for Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson in 2011-12 and again in 2013-14 under David Moyes.
