Wolverhampton Wanderers secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Burnley in a Premier League match at Molineux Stadium, with Hwang Hee-chan scoring the match’s only goal. Hwang’s first-half strike, his eighth league goal of the season, proved decisive for Wolves, who are now unbeaten in their last five Premier League home games.
The match saw an even start, but Wolves’ goalkeeper Daniel Bentley, playing in place of the injured Jose Sa, made crucial saves against Jay Rodriguez and Josh Brownhill. Burnley suffered a setback when Luca Koleosho had to leave due to injury. Wolves capitalized on a mistake by Sander Berge, who lost possession in his own half, allowing Matheus Cunha to set up Hwang for the winning goal.
In the second half, Wolves had opportunities to extend their lead, but efforts from Pablo Sarabia and Cunha were saved by Burnley’s goalkeeper James Trafford. Burnley struggled offensively, failing to register a shot on target in the second half and continuing their poor away record this season with eight losses in nine matches.With this result, Wolves have climbed to 12th place in the league standings with 18 points, while Burnley remains in 19th place with seven points.
