Events

Match Events

0' In just a few seconds Molineux Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Wolverhampton Wanderers FC and Aston Villa FC.
5' The travelling Aston Villa FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
6' Poor challenge from Boubacar Kamara. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
11' Aston Villa FC have won 524 goals from 369 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
16' Supporters expect more eagerness from Boubacar Kamara, as he is very good at scoring at Molineux Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
21' Wolverhampton Wanderers FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 21.
26' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Wolverhampton Wanderers FC that had 358 games and scored 424 goals.
28' It’s a booking for Wolverhampton Wanderers FC player. Craig Dawson gets a Yellow card.
29' Aston Villa FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
34' Rayan Ait Nouri has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
39' With 0 assists to his name this season, Mario Lemina is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Aston Villa FC.
44' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
46' Rayan Ait Nouri makes way for Matt Doherty at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Wolverhampton Wanderers FC.
51' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Wolverhampton Wanderers FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
53' Hwang Heechan puts Wolverhampton Wanderers FC on the lead.
55' Brilliant from the ! Pau Torres makes it 1-1 with a superb finish on 55.
60' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
62' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Mario Lemina.
62' Nicolo Zaniolo gets the nod from Aston Villa FC. He replaces Moussa Diaby and will look to change the dynamic.
67' The referee shows Wolverhampton Wanderers FC player a Yellow card on 67.
69' Joao Gomes makes way for Boubacar Traore at the 69 minute mark. A tactical switch from Wolverhampton Wanderers FC.
74' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Diego Carlos suffering a number of foals already.
76' A change in the Wolverhampton Wanderers FC ranks — Matheus Cunha exits the field as Sasa Kalajdzic enters on 76.
81' Fabio Silva has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 18 cards already picked up this season.
82' Matty Cash makes way for Leon Bailey at the 82 minute mark. A tactical switch from Aston Villa FC.
86' Another substitution for Wolverhampton Wanderers FC to replace Hwang Heechan by Fabio Silva on 86 minute.
90' Mario Lemina catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Red card on 90.
will have plenty to reflect on. were simply the better side today.
