Wolves win just their second Premier League game of the season. And it comes against Aston Villa. Goals from Joao Gomes & Rodrigo Gomes give Rob Edwards' side the three points. Manchester United will go third this weekend if they beat Crystal Palace.

FT: Wolves 2-0 #AVFC Wolves get their 2nd win of the season. A dire Villa display. Looked out of ideas from early on & didn't compete well enough - damning given one team is rooted to the bottom and the other is playing for Champions League football. Result was absolutely fair.

2-0 Wolves. Just like last season, they kill the game right at the end. #AVFC

#AVFC have actually got worse in the second half. Have either forgotten or are out of ideas in how to attack. A lot of players with hands on their hips - can they find a way through via a set-play, long shot or individual magic? Because everything else is failing

Alysson will be #AVFC's fifth change.

Every attack seems to be breaking down on the right. #AVFC increasingly scruffy and desperate, but are creating more from the left.

#AVFC in a 4-4-2 with Abraham and Watkins up top. Rogers has moved over to the left, with Maatsen behind, so hopefully Villa can get into better wide areas, with extra numbers in the box

Off come Emiliano Buendia and Lucas Digne. No rush as referee Craig Pawson has gone down the tunnel. #AVFC

Tammy Abraham and Ian Maatsen are being introduced. #AVFC

"To the Championship, 1-0" sing the Wolves supporters. #AVFC so soft in the tackle. Constantly letting Wolves out of tight areas. The goal illuminated how passive they've been.
