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.

Sa gets lucky! The Wolves goalkeeper makes a meal of a deep cross from Lewis-Potter, with a Brentford player lurking behind him. In part due to the presence of Hugo Bueno, he's able to gather the loose ball at the second attempt.

Brentford win a corner on their left flank, but Jensen's deep delivery is headed clear. That fourth Wolves goal seems to have killed off remaining belief inside this stadium.

Cunha fails to hold onto Toti's long ball forward, and Damsgaard picks it up in a promising position for Brentford. He has space to shoot, but he tries to do to much against Toti and Santiago Bueno, and Wolves escape!

POST! SO CLOSE TO 4-1! Cunha races onto a pass into the left-hand channel, facing up Pinnock before skipping past him on the outside. With no support, the Brazilian fires off a low shot towards the far corner, but it crashes off the foot of the post and out! Brentford stay in the contest by a matter of inches!
