Comments:

League position: 20th . Wolverhampton Wanderers had now become the fourth team to lose ten or more consecutive games within the same season in the Premier League: previously Sunderland in 2002-03 (15), Aston Villa in 2015-16 (11) and Norwich City in 2019-20 (10). . Wolves were now 16 points adrift of safety at the bottom of the table: the biggest-ever such margin at Christmas in the Premier League (previously 11 points by Sunderland in 2005-06). . Jørgen Strand Larsen’s penalty in the 88th minute was saved. It became the first penalty that Wanderers had missed in the Premier League since Kevin Doyle’s spot-kick was saved by Paul Robinson at Blackburn Rovers on 13 August 2011.

Comments:
