"Generous defending by the third-placed Villans allowed Joao Gomes to lift a finish past goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez from inside the box to break the deadlock in the 61st minute at Molineux, pouncing after Adam Armstrong applied a touch to Jackson Tchatchoua's cross from the right."
"Wolves head coach Rob Edwards turned to celebrate jubilantly with the visiting fans when Rodrigo Gomes swivelled to fire in a low finish and double his side's advantage in the 98th minute, the ricochet from Joao Gomes' blocked shot falling for the wideman."
"Villa boss Unai Emery had publicly warned his players that Wolves had not deserved to lose 1-0 at Villa Park shortly after Rob Edwards arrived in November, and the doomed-looking visitors gained revenge with their only attempt on target against opponents who have had a faltering February."
Wolves ended a nine-match winless run by defeating third-placed Aston Villa 2-0 at Molineux. Joao Gomes opened the scoring in the 61st minute after poor Villa defending, capitalizing on a cross from the right. Rodrigo Gomes sealed the victory in the 98th minute with a low finish from a rebound. Despite remaining rock-bottom and 14 points from safety, Wolves showed resilience against a struggling Villa side. Villa had limited attacking opportunities, with Pau Torres, Ollie Watkins, and Douglas Luiz all failing to convert chances. The defeat leaves Villa vulnerable to being overtaken by Manchester United, who can close the gap with a win against Crystal Palace.
