This is the Sky Sports Premier League podcast. Thanks for joining us. Two West Midlands clubs went head-to-head on Friday night football as Wolves hosted Aston Villa at Molineux. Here's how the game finished.
And for Aston Villa, a damaging defeat.
a rare moment to have the massive smile João Gomes with the opener in the second half Rodrigo Gomes with a second in added time just a second league win of the season for the old goal to celebrate
it probably won't be enough to keep them safe but sometimes in football what matters is getting one over your rivals and for Aston Villa this will be tough to take and opens things up for the chasing pack in the Champions League race football doing it again With the underdog tonight coming through to win the final score at Bologna, Wolverhampton 1-2, Aston Villa 0.
Well, what an incredible result and performance from Wolves to get the victory over Aston Villa. But what does that mean for Aston Villa and their hopes of Champions League football next season?
What happened in the Wolves vs Aston Villa match?
Izzy, first of all, a word on Wolves, because we saw the comeback against Arsenal, a really good performance there, but this topped it. Absolutely outstanding from minute one to minute 97, 98. I thought that Wolves came with a game plan. They executed it well. They got up in Aston Villa's faces. They didn't allow them to play their game. You can see the frustrations on the players there. You know, a few exchanges going on, but I think it's just fully deserved from Wolves' perspective. The way that Rob Edwards and his staff set out that team, it was hunger. They were aggressive and they really challenged the fact that Villa are under pressure at the moment, not performing, and they've gone and got their win to show for it.
Lee, you can see the disappointment on the faces of the Aston Villa players, but there is going to be huge disappointment for the Aston Villa fans as well. You said before the game you were a little bit worried. How worried are you now?
Yeah, they're nowhere near the team I've seen this season. And listen, I know when you're on a good run of form and you're winning games, things just come... quite fluidly and that they happen but at the moment I'm seeing a completely different side I'm seeing a team that looks scared to create players who are coming on and not making impacts there's lots of things that I could pick out and I'm really disappointed I'm trying to not sort of wear my heart on my sleeve at the moment because that is just not good enough you know you're coming up against a side who are scrapping to stay in the Premier League bottom of the league when one game going away from home in a big derby game that is a big wake up call for Villa it's not good enough
What did you think of Aston Villa's performance, Izzy? I thought twofold. I think they were really poor in possession. I didn't think they got any of their players on the ball who need to be on the ball. The likes of Morgan Wadgers was quiet. They missed those four big chances in the first half. But you can't help but look at the fact that Rob Edwards and the game plan stopped Villa from doing what they wanted to do. He challenged the way that they set up and he's got the result to show for it. But I think from Villa's perspective, I completely agree with Lee. I think it was a really dire performance. Don mentioned it a lot through commentary about being abysmal. And I think that's the perfect word to describe it.
They look so disconnected. They've been so well coached in the last few years, but they're in a bad run and they could end up paying for that massively. You have to be pleased, though, for Rob Edwards, because when that second goal went in, his celebrations all the way down. And then even now, when you see him cheering with his home fans.
It's massive for Rob Edwards. Going into the club and making a big call of leaving Middlesbrough at such a crucial time. He got highlighted of him leaving the club and going to Wolves who are always going to be struggling. But credit to him. Wherever he's been, Rob, he will always give 110%.
