Full-time: Wolves 1-1 Aston Villa
- Published
Wolves and Aston Villa settled for a share of the points after two goals in the space of two second-half minutes at Molineux.
Hwang Hee-chan opened the scoring early in the second half when he latched on to Pedro Neto's cross, poking in at the near post with Wolves' first shot on target in the game. Celebrations were short-lived however as Aston Villa hit back inside two minutes with defender Pau Torres netting his first goal for the club.
A lack of goalmouth action was the overriding feature of a disjointed first half that featured more yellow cards than shots on target, as referee Rob Jones had his hands full in trying to keep a lid on a feisty West Midlands derby.
Aston Villa's Matty Cash registered the only effort on goal when he met John McGinn's cross in the opening 10 minutes, but it was straight at goalkeeper Jose Sa.
The second-half goals helped the game come to life and Wolves had a golden chance to snatch victory in the final 10 minutes when Sasa Kalajdzic squared for Neto, however the Portuguese lacked composure as he blazed over from eight yards out.
Wolves had to hang on in stoppage time after they were reduced to 10 men shortly after the fourth official raised the board to signal for 12 additional minutes, when Mario Lemina was shown a second yellow card for pulling back Nicolo Zaniolo.
The draw moves Wolves up to 14th and four points clear of the relegation zone heading into the international break, while Villa stay fifth.
