Wolverhampton Wanderers earned a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa, officially surpassing Derby County’s record-low points tally to avoid the worst season in Premier League history.
Wolverhampton Wanderers avoided the ignominy of setting a new record for the Premier League’s lowest points total with a spirited 2-0 win over Aston Villa.
Joao Gomes broke the deadlock after a cagey first half, before Rodrigo Gomes added a stoppage-time second to seal the victory.
The result moves Wolves to 13 points, finally surpassing the 11-point tally set by Derby County in 2008.
Despite a dominant display from Villa, they struggled to convert chances and were thwarted by goalkeeper José Sá.
Regarding Wolves’ season, analysts noted they are “far and away the worst attack and defense in the top flight,” yet they have still managed “upsets against leaders Arsenal and their local rivals.”
While relegation remains inevitable, the win provides a rare moment of pride for the Molineux faithful.
