Wolves vs Brentford LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction today
Relive all the action from Molineux
Ivan Toney inspired Brentford to their first away win in the top flight for 74 years with a 2-0 victory at Wolves.
Toney almost moved to Molineux from Northampton as a teenager in 2014, the move collapsing when he failed a medical, so it was perhaps inevitable he would star as Wolves slumped to a fourth straight home Premier League defeat.
The 25-year-old had a goal, an assist and two disallowed in the first half alone as a clinical Brentford side got their first top-flight win since beating Leeds 2-1 in 1947, with Bryan Mbeumo also on target.
A second-half red card for Shandon Baptiste threatened to spoil Brentford’s afternoon, but, even though Wolves finished on top, they failed to score for a fourth league match out of five this season. Relive all the action below:
Wolves welcome Brentford to Molineux
Welcome to The Independent’s live coverage as Wolves host Brentford in Saturday afternoon’s early Premier League kick-off.
Bruno Lage’s side got off the mark with a 2-0 win over Watford last weekend and will be hoping to build on that momentum. Meanwhile, Brentford have taken to the top-flight in great style, taking five points from their opening four games, including that tremendous opening day victory against Arsenal.
