If Wolves were under any illusions of the challenges that lay ahead, then defeat at Bournemouth magnified their shortcomings. A disjointed display was ultimately punished by a fourth-minute strike by Marcus Tavernier that took a wicked deflection off Emmanuel Agbadou.
Wolves could count themselves unlucky in that particular moment, but the worrying thing from Vítor Pereira’s perspective was that his side appeared more dangerous with 10 men after Toti Gomes was dismissed four minutes into the second half for a silly push on Evanilson.
