With Wolves extending their cushion above the relegation zone, Vitor Pereira’s side will now turn their attention to a home clash against Fulham at Molineux next Tuesday, while Bournemouth face a tough trip to Brighton. That wraps up our live coverage for today—thank you for following along! Up next, stay tuned for Aston Villa vs. Chelsea, kicking off shortly. Until next time, this is Sanil Karan signing off.

This win is a significant boost for Wolves, who now move five points clear of the relegation zone, easing their survival fears as they edge closer to safety. On the other hand, it’s a missed opportunity for Bournemouth, who could have broken into the top four with a win. Instead, they suffer back-to-back home defeats for the first time since October 2023, a worrying sign as they look to maintain their European ambitions. For Wolves, this could be a season-defining result, while Bournemouth will need to regroup quickly to avoid losing further ground in the race for the top four.

As the clock ticked down, frustration grew for the home side. Wolves, sensing the importance of the three points, managed the game well, slowing the tempo and disrupting Bournemouth’s rhythm whenever possible. Late substitutions injected fresh legs for both teams, but neither side could find the finishing touch in the final moments. The Cherries had one last chance when Brooks found space at the back post, but he failed to control the cross, summing up a frustrating night for Andoni Iraola’s side.

The second half saw Bournemouth pushing for an equalizer, but Wolves’ defense stood firm. The hosts saw plenty of the ball and continuously tried to create openings, with Kerkez and Tavernier posing threats down the flanks. However, Wolves' defensive discipline, combined with Jose Sa’s solid goalkeeping, denied Bournemouth any clear-cut opportunities. The visitors also had their moments on the break, with Pedro Lima and Strand Larsen both coming close to sealing the win, but Kepa Arrizabalaga was equal to their efforts.

Wolves secure a massive victory on the road, edging out 10-man Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. The defining moment of the match came in the first half when Illia Zabarnyi was sent off after a VAR review for a dangerous challenge on Rayan Ait-Nouri. Just five minutes later, Matheus Cunha capitalized on Wolves' numerical advantage, clinically finishing from close range to put the visitors ahead. The home crowd was furious with the decision, making their feelings known as the players headed down the tunnel at half-time. With their backs against the wall, Bournemouth had to chase the game, but Wolves remained composed, controlling the tempo and limiting their hosts' chances.

After the final whistle, tensions flare as Kepa lets his frustration show, leading to the referee brandishing a yellow card for dissent. He was too loud in his complains about something.

Tavernier trips Pedro Lima in Bournemouth’s attacking third, giving Wolves a free kick and a chance to slow the game down. A huge sigh of relief for the visitors as this should be the final action of the match.

SAVE! Wolves launch a quick counterattack with Pedro Lima surging forward through midfield, carrying the ball with pace. As he reaches the edge of the box, he unleashes a low, powerful shot aimed at the bottom left corner. Kepa reacts swiftly, diving to his right and getting a strong hand to push it away from danger.
