Joao Gomes broke the deadlock just after the hour mark to give Rob Edwards’ side the lead. A late dagger came from Rodrigo Gomes, who added a second deep into second-half injury time to seal the victory. Villa have not won at Molineux since 2020, and the result compounded a poor away performance that saw Emery head straight down the tunnel at full time as Wolves fans celebrated.
