Comments:

League position: 10th Wolverhampton Wanderers avoided losing three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since November 2018. Wolves had now won seven of their eight home games in the Premier League played in midweek since their return to the division in 2018. They had now taken 20 points from their 13 games so far in this Premier League season; one more point than at the same stage of the previous season. Wolverhampton Wanderers were awarded a penalty after 80 minutes but the decision was reversed after a VAR review due to no foul adjudged to have been committed.
