A Villa 2 – 3 Wolves

Ruben Neves’ deflected 95th-minute free-kick completed a sensational 3-2 comeback win for Wolves against Aston Villa in a pulsating West Midlands derby at Villa Park on Saturday.

The hosts were in a commanding position after Danny Ings’ header (48) was added to by John McGinn’s deflected effort (68).

But Romain Saiss started the turnaround when he met Daniel Podence’s cross (80) and Conor Coady levelled five minutes later from close range as Villa imploded.

There was an element of good fortune about the winner, however, as Neves’ firmly struck free-kick cruelly deflected in off Matt Targett handing Wolves a quite memorable derby day victory.
