Wolverhampton Wanderers lost their opening game of a league season for the first time since a 1-0 defeat at Leeds United in the League Championship in 2012. Bruno Lage became the sixth Portuguese manager in the Premier League but the first to lose his first game in the competition. Wolves had now lost four consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since April 2012.
