In a closely contested match at Molineux, Hwang Hee-chan emerged as the hero for Wolves, netting his ninth goal of the season, which proved decisive in their slim victory over a struggling Burnley side.
Burnley, buoyed by their recent 5-0 demolition of Sheffield United, couldn’t replicate their previous form and were left lamenting a defensive lapse that cost them dearly.
The game, played on a brisk Midlands evening, remained uneventful until the 38th minute. It was then that Wolves nearly broke the deadlock, but Burnley’s temporary goalkeeper Daniel Bentley executed an impressive double save, thwarting Jay Rodriguez and then Josh Brownhill in quick succession.
However, Burnley’s resilience was short-lived. A mistake from Sander Berge, losing control of the ball, allowed Matheus Cunha to set up Hwang, who coolly finished, giving Wolves the lead.
In the second half, Burnley’s attempts to level the score were futile. Their most notable chance was Vitinho’s long-range shot that soared over the bar. Despite their efforts, they couldn’t penetrate Bentley’s defense.
Wolves, holding firm, claimed their first win after two winless games, climbing to 12th in the league standings. Meanwhile, Burnley’s woes continued as they remained entrenched in the relegation zone.

ugh, another tough loss for us. we need to step up our game, can’t keep losing like this. defense needs a serious talk!
haha wolves really pulled it off this time, hwang’s goal was epic! they need to keep this up tho, consistency is key guys!
Interesting match, Burnley had their moments but just couldn’t break through. Wolves defense held strong, good job to them.
Bentley did great with those saves, real talent there. But the team’s gotta give him more support, can’t do it all alone.
