Aston Villa score late winner, deny Wolves first point
Aston Villa denied Wolverhampton Wanderers their first victory in the Premier League this season after they came from behind to win their West Midlands derby 3-1 with two late goals on Saturday.
After a lively start, Wolves took the lead when Matheus Cunha anticipated a pass from Diego Carlos and timed his run to perfection to nick the ball and skip past a challenge before shooting from outside the box to beat Emiliano Martínez in goal.
Villa did not have a shot on target in the first half but their pressure in the second eventually paid off when they won the ball high up and Ollie Watkins saw his shot take a fortuitous deflection to beat the goalkeeper and make it 1-1.
With Wolves struggling, Villa eventually found the winner in the 88th minute when Youri Tielemans put in a cross to the far post where Ezri Konsa fired home to seal the three points before Jhon Duran tapped in a third on a counter-attack in added time.
