"Wolves understandably savoured every moment of only their second Premier League win of the season, every outfield player joining the celebrations as Joao Gomes fired in his first goal in a year just after the hour, and then again joyously when Rodrigo Gomes made it 2-0 in the 98th minute."
"But Emery's wait to taste victory at Molineux goes on, the Spaniard winless in all five visits here as a manager. For him and for Villa, Wednesday's date with Chelsea at Villa Park just got a little bit meatier."
"It was never going to be an evening for the purists and driving rain did little to enhance this soggy Midlands derby as a spectacle. It was a contest bogged down by misplaced passes, clunky touches and the ball slowing unpredictably on a saturated surface."
Wolves secured a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa in a Midlands derby, with Joao Gomes scoring in the 60th minute and Rodrigo Gomes adding a second in the 98th minute. The win marked only Wolves' second Premier League victory of the season and allowed them to surpass Derby County's record low points tally of 11 from 2007-08. For Aston Villa, the defeat carries significant implications for their Champions League aspirations and intensifies pressure ahead of their midweek fixture against Chelsea. Manager Unai Emery remains winless in all five managerial visits to Molineux. Poor weather conditions and a saturated pitch contributed to a match characterized by misplaced passes, loose touches, and limited quality from both sides.
