League position: 14th Brentford had now lost 100 games in the top division (played 233, won 82). The Bees had now lost four consecutive games for the second time in this Premier League season. They had now conceded the opening goal in 15 of their last 16 games in the Premier League. Mads Roerslev and Shandon Baptiste's withdrawls were both regarded as a concussion substitutions.

Comments:

League position: 8th Wolverhampton Wanderers had now won their first three league games of a year for the first time since 1994 in League Division 1. Wolves had now not conceded a goal in first-half of their last 14 games in the Premier League. They failed in their attempt to keep clean sheets in three consecutive away games in the top division for the first time since March 1960. Tote Gomes was shown a red card after 68 minutes for serious foul play but was reduced to a yellow card following a VAR review. Adama Traoré scored in added time at the end of the game but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review.
