Wolves dent Aston Villa’s Champions League hopes to surpass record low points tally

Wolves delivered a significant blow to Aston Villa’s Champions League aspirations with a 2-0 victory at Molineux, a result that also saw them surpass Derby County’s record-low Premier League points tally.

Second-half goals from Joao Gomes and Rodrigo Gomes secured only Wolves’ second win in 29 games, taking their season total to 13 points and moving them beyond the meagre 11 points posted by the Rams in the 2007-08 season, thus avoiding the notoriety of being the worst-ever Premier League team.
