Wolves vs Burnley LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as Hwang Hee-Chan nets winner
Follow all the action from Molineux Stadium
Vincent Kompany’s Burnley travel to Wolves in the hopes of backing up their impressive victory over Sheffield United at the weekend and taking strides to avoid the relegation zone.
The Clarets defeat the Blades 5-0 in a fluid and sweeping game of attacking football that felt reminiscent of their Championship dominance last season and Kompany will want to use that win as a springboard to take Burnley even further.
For their part, Wolves have lost their last two league games and a victory would propel them up the table and increase the gap above the relegation zone.

SAVE! Trafford is tested for the first time as Sarabia's strike loops up off Vitinho, and it looks like it might be dropping under the crossbar. The Burnley goalkeeper takes no chances, tipping it over for a corner.

Amdouni nods the inswinging corner goalwards, and it crashes off a gold shirt before dropping to Taylor on the edge of the box. The left-back takes a wild swing and lifts his volley miles over the bar, but O'Neil is not happy, gesticulating for Wolves to up the tempo!

Close! Burnley are controlling this game well, but Trafford almost makes a costly error as his slack pass is inches away from being intercepted by Hwang. The Clarets survive, though, and Koleosho goes up the other end to win a left-wing corner.

Wolves have completely failed to get Hwang or Cunha into the game so far, as the Brazilian is crowded out in midfield. Hwang has scored five goals in his six Premier League home games for Wolves this season, with their 2-1 win against Tottenham last time out here the only time he's failed to score at Molineux in the league this term. The last player to net more home league goals for the club in a single campaign was Raul Jimenez in 2019-20 (eight).

This is a decent spell for Burnley! Koleosho beats Semedo at the second time of asking before hammering a shot off from near the corner of the box, but an old gold shirt is there to block. The home fans are starting to grow frustrated.

Burnley go for a corner-kick routine off the training ground, working it neatly into Brownhill, but his looping cross is beyond the navy shirts at the far post as Wolves get the goal-kick.

Berge skips into the area before offloading to Bruun Larsen, who lays it off for Brownhill on the edge of the box. He attempts the first shot of the game, and it deflects well wide for a corner. Bentley played Wolves into trouble again at the start of that move...

A big cheer goes up as Bruun Larsen takes a poor touch under pressure from Toti, flicking the ball directly out of play. It's all been very cautious thus far.

Good goalkeeping! Burnley stand off Kilman, who launches a throughball over the top of the Clarets' block, looking for Sarabia. O'Neil applauds the intention, but it just runs too long and Trafford comes off his line to claim it.
