Wolves secured a crucial victory of 2-0 over the Aston villa in Molineux, a result that ejects them out of the relegation zone and adds to the momentum of their survival offer.
Matheus Cunha was a hero, giving a amazing late goal to seal a victory in the tense derby West Midlands.
The match started with wolves showing greater urgency and intention. Their counter-attacking skill has repeatedly upset the collective villa, and the hosts deservedly led 1-0 at halftime.
Jean-Aricner Bellegarda broke the stack with an integral ending after a quick rest, using Villa’s defensive disorder.
Vile Onai Emery manager replied a brave move on vacation, making four replacements in an attempt to inject life into his side. Despite the fresh legs and tactical adjustments, Villa struggled to penetrate the stubborn defense of the wolves.
The best chances of visitors appeared in the last stages, and Donyelll small forced the sharp savings of Wolves’ goalkeeper Jose Sa.

While the villa was desperately pressed for the equalizer, the wolves remained resistant, absorbed the pressure and looked dangerous on the counter.
Defining a moment arrived deeply at the time of stopping. The failed clearance of Ezra Cons gave Cunh the opportunity.
The Brazilian embarked on a decisive, stopped race that seemed to reach the blind street.
However, he created only enough space to free the thunderous strike, sending the ball next to Emilian Martinez and in the lower left corner.
Cunha received a yellow card shortly afterwards, a little man at otherwise star performances. Wolves were moving in the last moments of the tactical nous, using replacements to interfere with the rhythm of the villa and effectively manage the clock.
This victory indicates the third consecutive Wolves’ victory over the villa and provides a significant impetus in their fight against relegation.
For the villa, defeat of the recess into its four -time aspirations.
