Wolves have won four of their last six Premier League games (losing two). On the road, they’ve won three of their last five (drawing one and losing one), as many as in their previous 20. They should have scored the first goal in the first half, but missed the chances and have been punished.

CHANCE! Zaniolo played a role in Villa's second goal and almost gets a goal to his name off the bench. He arrives on the edge of the box and drives a low shot on target, but Sa gets down to push it into the air before collecting it on the second attempt.
