Brentford vs Wolverhampton Wanderers LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Brentford 1-4 Wolves: Hee-chan Hwang scored twice for the impressive visitors as Brentford’s slide down the table continued
Hwang Hee-chan scored twice as Brentford forgot how to defend and Wolves took full advantage with a 4-1 win in west London.
Hwang took his tally for the season to 11 as Wanderers followed up their Christmas Eve win over Chelsea by collecting another festive three points.
It was a first victory in the capital in 15 attempts for Wolves, their last coming in a 2-0 win at Tottenham in February last year.
But it was gifted to them by a Brentford side who could soon be looking nervously over their shoulders at the relegation battle after a fourth straight defeat and a sixth in seven matches.
Brentford vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Brentford are looking to provide their fans with some much-needed festive cheer here, having lost five of their last six Premier League games (one win), including each of their last three in a row. Hampered by injuries to the likes of Bryan Mbeumo and Rico Henry and with star striker Ivan Toney still banned over breaches of the Football Association's betting rules, the Bees have slipped to 14th in the table, though a win here would take them above Fulham and Wolves, and potentially Chelsea depending on the Blues' result against Crystal Palace elsewhere on Wednesday. Thomas Frank and his men have had plenty of time to prepare, with Manchester City's successful FIFA Club World Cup campaign meaning they were last in action 10 days ago.
