Goals: 62. Leander Dendoncker
Wolverhampton confirmed good form after a coronavirus break and scored his third win in a row when he succeeded on the ground rescuing Aston Villa with the tightest ratio of 1: 0. In the prelude to the 32nd round, he decided, similarly to the last time with Bournemouth (1: 0) shortly after an hour of play, and then he watched the lead with an overview until the final whistle. In the table, he jumped to fifth place with fifty-two points just two points behind the fourth Chelsea.
The guests still live on the hope for the Champions League, the locals have completely different worries. In the Premier League, they remained in the penultimate nineteenth place with twenty-seven points and again complicated the situation in the fight for the desired rescue. He and his opponent kept up with all the statistics and even shot him, but did not see the desired goal. The first major opportunity for Saturday’s race was to be seen after less than twenty minutes of play.
The best scorer Wolves Jiménez, who has a solid fifteen league goals on his account, this time fought his way to the header at the right corner of the goal area. However, the Mexican striker headed only for a closer construction and there was prepared a goalkeeper Nyland, who twice tamed the ball in his gloves. Exactly in the middle of the opening act, the slight favorite threatened a second time, Doherty wanted to take care of the change of status.
He cleverly intercepted the opponent, then brought the ball to the opponent’s penalty area, but his sharp projectile flew around the right post. The Villans did not change their biggest opportunity of this match about ten minutes before the break. Grealish came close to extending the visitors’ lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle, but he lifted the ball over Rui Patrício and it was a little too high and hit the bar.
He threatened Jota on the opposite side until the break, but in a promising position he did not adjust the sights precisely and fired over the crossbar. The decisive moment was born in the 62nd minute. Twenty-four-year-old Belgian national team player Leander Dendoncker outsmarted defending Douglas Luis after a good job by Jonny Castro, and his elusive cross-shot from fifteen meters fell right into the far bottom corner. Aston Villa tried to come up with something in the rest of the course, but did not significantly endanger the Wanderers’ defense.
