Arsenal recorded a thumping win against Wolverhampton It was a disappointing conclusion for Wolves, who finish 13th. With boss Julen Lopetegui's future at the club in doubt, the former Spain and Real Madrid boss spent most of his afternoon looking on grimly from the stands as he served a one-game touchline ban. They showed little of the organisation and discipline that Lopetegui had instilled in them to guide them to safety after being appointed when they were bottom of the table in November. And their afternoon got even worse when goalkeeper Jose Sa fumbled Jakub Kiwior's instinctive effort into his own net in the closing stages to gift Arsenal a fifth goal.

Everton's fight to avoid the drop into the Championship will go down to the final day of the season despite Yerry Mina snatching a dramatic equaliser deep into stoppage time at Wolves. The Toffees looked on course for a damaging defeat until Mina pounced in a goalmouth scramble in the final seconds of nine minutes of additional time to give Sean Dyche's side what might prove to be a priceless point. Wolves went ahead in a scrappy encounter after 34 minutes when Hwang Hee-Chan scored from a rebound after Everton keeper Jordan Pickford had pushed out Adama Traore's shot. Committed Wolves 'deserved to win' - Lopetegui Julen Lopetegui can reflect with satisfaction on his early months at Wolves after he succeeded the sacked Bruno Lage. The Spaniard took the acclaim of the Wolves fans at the conclusion of their final home game of the season, even though it was tinged with disappointment after Mina's late leveller deprived them of a win. In the 88' Boubacar Traoré replaced Rúben Neves who left to a standing ovation.

Manchester United bounced back from consecutive Premier League defeats by beating Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford to strengthen their bid for a top-four finish. Erik ten Hag's side had lost to Brighton and West Ham to give Liverpool - who were one point behind in fourth at the start of the day - hope of snatching a Champions League spot at their expense. The visitors rarely threatened as they finished the game without a shot on target.
Manchester United remain fourth but are level on 66 points with Newcastle in third. Wolves, meanwhile, are 13th.
Bentley impresses for already-safe Wolves
Wolves can do better - Lopetegui
Wolves were bottom of the Premier League on Christmas Day, so it is testament to Julen Lopetegui's ability that he had guided them to safety with three games remaining. Consequently, they spent much of this game playing every bit like a side with nothing to play for as David de Gea finished the game without making a meaningful save. But the big positive for the visitors was the performance of Bentley in their goal. The former Bristol City shotstopper, who joined the club in January, looked assured on his Wolves and Premier League debut, and made two good saves in the second half to deny Jadon Sancho and Antony.

Toti's early header struck the underside of the crossbar after beating Emiliano Martinez.
Toti scored his first Wolves goal as Julen Lopetegui's side beat European hopefuls Aston Villa at Molineux to banish any lingering fears of Premier League relegation (apart from the erroneously disallowed one against Liverpool in the FA Cup).
The hard-fought victory lifts Lopetegui's team to 40 points, 10 clear of 18th-placed Nottingham Forest, who have four games left to play. Portuguese centre-back Toti gave Wolves the lead inside 10 minutes, sending a towering header beyond Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez via the underside of the crossbar.
The visitors dominated possession and went close to equalising in the first half through Emiliano Buendia and Ollie Watkins, before Ashley Young steered a low, curling shot past Jose Sa's right-hand post early in the second half. Tyrone Mings blazed Douglas Luiz's delivery over the crossbar as Villa applied heavy pressure late on, but the hosts held firm to claim a fourth consecutive home league victory and a fourth successive clean sheet in front of their own fans. Wolves showed quality & commitment - Julen Lopetegui Before the game, Lopetegui said his players would need to deliver a near-perfect performance to match an Aston Villa side enjoying a new lease of life under Unai Emery. While the hosts' display was far from error free, the result was the ideal antidote to last Saturday's humbling defeat by Brighton at Amex Stadium and all but confirms their place in the top flight next season. Wolves' high press forced an early corner from which Toti rose above Jacob Ramsey to break the deadlock, while a combination of dogged defending and inspired goalkeeping kept Villa at bay at the other end

Brighton reignited their push for a place in Europe next season by recording their biggest-ever top-flight victory at the expense of woeful Wolves.
Wolves remain eight points clear of the relegation zone, but manager Julen Lopetegui will be alarmed at the manner of his team's collapse on the south coast. Nightmare afternoon for Wolves and Lopetegui Lopetegui apologises to Wolves fans after 'very bad day' When Brighton won 3-2 at Molineux in November - hours after it was announced Lopetegui would replace the sacked Bruno Lage - Wolves were joint-bottom of the Premier League with 10 points from 14 games. While the improvement since then has been stark, this was by far Wolves' worst performance during the Spaniard's stewardship. Operating in a 4-3-3 system, the visitors were passive, disjointed and desperately poor in possession - and Brighton took full advantage in a startlingly one-sided first half. Lopetegui brought on Hwang Hee-chan, Toti and Collins at half-time in an effort to stem the flow of goals, but there was little in the way of a response. Both Brighton's second-half efforts were appalling from the visitors' perspective, with Collins and Nunes guilty of surrendering possession on the edge of their own box. It would take an almighty collapse - and a vast improvement from several teams below - for Wolves to get dragged back into the relegation quagmire, but this was a defeat that will leave a sour taste for some time to come.

Wolves took an early lead thanks to Joachim Andersen's own goal and then saw out a crucial win and took a huge step towards securing their Premier League status for next season with victory over Crystal Palace at Molineux. In a match low on clear-cut chances, Wolves went in front after three minutes when Ruben Neves' corner bounced off the knee of Palace centre-back Joachim Andersen and in off the crossbar. The goal came in a lively opening few minutes that quickly gave way to an altogether more scrappy and tetchy affair that was settled by Neves' stoppage-time penalty. Albert Sambi Lokonga came closest to providing a Palace equaliser before half-time but his snapshot from eight yards out was saved by Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa.

Wolves had gone in front after 13 minutes when Youri Tielemens was caught in possession inside his own half, allowing Matheus Cunha to drive forward and finish from the edge of the box. The goal shook Leicester, who had started brightly, but they were offered a way back into the game when Jamie Vardy went around Jose Sa and was brought down by the Wolves goalkeeper.

The Football Association is looking into a spitting allegation against Wolves forward Daniel Podence at Nottingham Forest on Saturday. Forest's Brennan Johnson appeared to suggest Portuguese midfielder Podence spat at him during the 1-1 draw. Video assistant referee Neil Swarbrick checked the incident but did not tell referee Chris Kavanagh to take action. "I've seen it back and I'm not going to add any fuel to the fire," said Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper. "There's pictures and videos, so you have to trust the authorities to deal with it."
Podence scored a late equaliser, his sixth league goal of the season, as Wolves earned a late draw at Forest. - Daniel Podence scored a late equaliser as Wolves held Nottingham Forest to a draw - a result that did neither any favours as they fight to avoid relegation from the Premier League. Podence fired home his sixth goal of the season by opening up his body and curling past Keylor Navas to grab a point at the City Ground. Brennan Johnson, who did not join Wales for international duty because of a groin injury, had put Forest ahead in the first half. Johnson finished from the tightest of angles - and through the legs of Jose Sa - after getting on the end of Danilo's ball. Both teams had their assistant head coach red-carded early in the second half, with Forest's Alan Tate and Wolves counterpart Pablo Sanz dismissed from the dugout after the visitors appealed for a penalty when Adama Traore went down in the box. Tempers flared again in the closing stages when Johnson appeared to suggest Podence spat in his direction, but Chris Kavanagh took no action after a VAR check

Leeds climbed out of the Premier League relegation zone after holding off a late Wolves fightback to win an enthralling game at Molineux. Jack Harrison, who scored in last weekend's 2-2 draw at home to Brighton, side-footed Wilfried Gnonto's cut-back past Jose Sa to give the visitors an early lead after a bright start. Leeds doubled their advantage four minutes into the second half as Luke Ayling, left completely unmarked by the Wolves defence, beat Sa with a low header from point-blank range. Jonny gifted second-half substitute Rasmus Kristensen a third moments after the Dane's introduction, before the Wolves defender gave his team hope with a tremendous volleyed finish after Illan Meslier had come rushing out of his goal to make a clearance. Matheus Cunha's deflected strike set up a nail-biting finale, but Wolves' hopes of a dramatic comeback were dealt a blow when Jonny was shown a straight red card Wolves were adamant they should have been awarded a penalty at St James' Park last weekend, and they were no less incensed by Salisbury's failure to award a spot-kick after Junior Firpo appeared to clip Nelson Semedo in the area minutes after Harrison's opener. Lopetegui looked on bemused as the video assistant referee confirmed Salisbury's original decision, before making his feelings plain to fourth official Andre Marriner. Jonny got Wolves on the scoresheet with a magnificent 35-yard volley after Roca had headed Meslier's clearance into his path. Unused substitute Matheus Nunes was also shown a red card deep into second-half stoppage time after remonstrating with the officials in the aftermath of Rodrigo's late goal (foul on Adama not given). After conceding four for the first time since October, Wolves' meeting with Nottingham Forest after the international break now takes on added importance.

Wolves were second best for large periods but will feel aggrieved that they were not awarded a penalty, and that Nick Pope was not sent off, when the Newcastle goalkeeper appeared to take down Raul Jimenez six minutes before Isak's opener, with referee Andy Madley waving away their appeals.

Substitute Manor Solomon scored for the third consecutive game as European hopefuls Fulham fought back to claim a hard-fought Premier League draw at home to struggling Wolves. Solomon's superb curling effort into the right corner rescued a point for the hosts, who generally underwhelmed as they missed the opportunity to move level on points with fifth-placed Newcastle. Until the Israel international's intervention, Wolves had looked on course to claim a valuable three points courtesy of Pablo Sarabia's sweeping first-half effort. The Spain winger, who had earlier seen a weak attempt saved by home goalkeeper Bernd Leno, expertly turned in Raul Jimenez's knock down after twice linking with the Mexico international in the build up. Had Jimenez been able to turn home a second-half header he narrowly glanced wide the game might have proved beyond Marco Silva's side, who barely threatened until the closing stages.
The result leaves the Cottagers sixth in the table on 39 points, while Wolves remain 15th, four points above the relegation zone.
Both sides are likely to come away from this contest with a tinge of regret, with a point hardly an ideal outcome for sides with disparate ambitions this tem. Matheus Cunha was taken off on a stretcher after lengthy treatment. Jose Sa made some terrific saves too.

Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper says reaching a first EFL Cup semi-final in 31 years will offer old and new fans the chance to dream after being drawn against Manchester United. Forest beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 4-3 on penalties following a 1-1 draw to set up the clash against the team they were beaten by in the 1992 final. Wolves should have been awarded a match- winning penalty as Cunha was brought down by Aurier who escaped scot free. Dean Henderson was the penalty shootout hero as Cooper's side overcame Wolves at the City Ground. Henderson turned away Ruben Neves' spot-kick after Jose Sa had denied Sam Surridge, then turned away Joe Hodge's effort following Forest converting all four of their remaining penalties. Forest had led in normal time when former Wolves pair Morgan Gibbs-White and Willy Boly combined, with Gibbs-White hanging an excellent first-half corner into the six-yard box and Boly stabbing home from close range.
Wolves scored a superb equaliser when new loan signing Matheus Cunha's low cross invited the finish from striker Raul Jimenez. The game ended with ugly scenes in the centre of the pitch, with stewards involved to pull the players apart as tempers frayed after MGW had a go at the travelling Wolves fans.

Toti's goal clearly not offside - see The Athletic https://theathletic.com/4068424/2023/01/08/var-offside-images-wolves-liverpool/?source=user-shared-article&fbclid=IwAR2dSz3xO8aDtlPAv7xHF2wslBurTONoCcjQVZYg8pII2HPlfrKyGa3qR1Y
Liverpool and Wolves were forced to settle for an FA Cup third-round replay after a thrilling encounter finished level at Anfield. Wolves led after Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson horrifically gave the ball away and Goncalo Guedes tapped home. D rwin Nunez's classy left-footed volley pulled Liverpool level, before Mohamed Salah side-footed them ahead. Hwang Hee-chan then came off the bench to earn Wolves a replay, with the ball ricocheting in off his side. Wolves thought they had won the game when Toti flicked home, but the linesman had ruled it offside earlier in the move. Wrongly - as The Athletic proved

Report: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64106275 By Harry Poole BBC Sport
Ings has scored four goals in seven Premier League appearances against Wolves
Substitute Danny Ings' late equaliser earned Aston Villa a point and denied Wolves an important Premier League victory in their West Midlands derby at Villa Park. Ings cancelled out Daniel Podence's delightful first-half strike as he lifted the ball past Jose Sa after his run behind the defence was picked out by Tyrone Mings' superb pass. Podence ensured the visitors capitalised on their purposeful start as the Portuguese forward weaved past Douglas Luiz before curling a 12th-minute opener beyond World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. Making his first appearance since lifting the World Cup with Argentina last month, Golden Glove winner Martinez was called upon to deny Matheus Nunes at close range as the visitors continued to offer the greater threat. The hosts eventually sparked into action in the final 20 minutes, with Max Kilman heading Ludwig Augustinsson's shot off the line before Ings' leveller. But despite relentless pressure they were unable to force a late winner and an emotional Leon Bailey had to be consoled by his team-mates at the full-time whistle after he missed a late chance, shooting wide from an angle after rounding Sa in stoppage time.
