Brentford Compound Wolves' Misery at Molineux
Wolverhampton Wanderers' disastrous season hit new depths as Keane Lewis-Potter struck twice to secure Brentford a 2-0 victory, marking Wolves' 10th consecutive Premier League defeat.
Match Summary
The first half offered little excitement, with Wolves keeper José Sá producing the only notable save to deny Lewis-Potter. Brentford emerged more purposeful after the break, with Kevin Schade twice testing Sá before the breakthrough arrived in the 63rd minute.
A defensive lapse proved costly for Wolves as Ladislav Krejci misjudged Vitaly Janelt's hopeful ball forward, allowing Lewis-Potter to fire home. The Brentford forward completed his brace with a crisp 83rd-minute volley, compounding the hosts' misery.
Key Stats:
- Wolves have 2 points from 17 games - worst in English league history
- 6 consecutive defeats under manager Rob Edwards
- Molnieux crowd emptied early amid angry chants
Post-Match Reactions
Brentford manager Keith Andrews praised his matchwinner: "Keano's been knocking at the door with his training performances. Today he showed his quality with two excellent finishes."
A visibly shaken Wolves captain Matt Doherty told Sky Sports: "We must decide - do we want to be remembered as fighters or cowards? Right now, we're playing with fear."
Under-pressure boss Rob Edwards admitted: "We're self-imploding. There's always a catastrophic mistake waiting to happen."
Historical Low
Wolves have now set an unwanted record as the worst-performing team in English league history after 17 matches across all four tiers. Their late penalty miss by Jorgen Strand Larsen, saved by Caoimhin Kelleher, encapsulated their crisis of confidence.
Brentford climb to 12th with the win, while Wolves remain rooted to the bottom, facing an increasingly desperate battle for survival.
