"However, Brentford broke through in the 63rd minute when Lewis-Potter neatly steered home after the Wolves defence were slow to react to Vitaly Janelt's lofted ball into the box. Lewis-Potter then nodded in Mikkel Damsgaard's cross seven minutes from time to seal all three points, though the Bees survived a late scare when Strand Larsen's spot-kick was thwarted by Kelleher, who tripped Matt Doherty in the box."
"Wolves, who stay nine points adrift at the bottom, became only the fourth team in Premier League history to suffer 10 successive defeats during the same season, after Sunderland (2002-03), Aston Villa (2015-16) and Norwich City (2019-20). All three sides went on to finish the respective campaign at the foot of the table. Wolves also have the joint-fewest points ever by a side in their first 17 matches of a season in English league history (two)."
