Wolves avoid unwanted record with 2-0 win over local rivals Villa

  • On Friday, Wolverhampton Wanderers beat Aston Villa 2-0 in the West Midlands derby, with Joao Gomes and Rodrigo Gomes scoring to take Wolves to 13 points from 29 games.
  • A second win in 29 matches ended a long slump that had threatened to match Derby County's 11-point low from 2007-08, but Wolves remain 14 points adrift with nine games remaining.
  • Amid driving rain, Wolves scored with their only two shots on target and kept their fourth clean sheet, while the opener came after 61 minutes from a Jackson Tchatchoua cross and Adam Armstrong layoff.
  • Unai Emery's side remain third on 51 points from 28 games, six above fifth-placed Chelsea, after a woeful display damaged their Champions League bid; Villa's late push failed after Onana's chance was cleared off the line.
  • Goalkeeper Jose Sa praised the side, saying `It was a very good performance, every player did well`, as wild celebrations erupted while Emery stormed down the tunnel.
