Comments:

League position: 9th Wolverhampton Wanderers had now won two of their last nine games in the Premier League (lost three). Wolves failed in their attempt to win three consecutive home games in the top division for the first time since 1980. That run was ended by a 2-0 defeat by Brighton and Hove Albion on 15 November 1980. They had now conceded two goals in their last five home games in the Premier League.
