Burnley Snatches Last-Minute Win at Molineux as Wolves’ Struggles Continue
Wolves suffered another heartbreaking loss at Molineux as Burnley snatched a dramatic 3-2 victory in stoppage time. It was a match filled with twists and turns, as Wolves fought back after falling behind early, only to be undone in the dying moments by a Lyle Foster goal. For Wolves, this defeat marked another frustrating chapter in a season already teetering on the edge of crisis.
The game began with Wolves showing promise. Rodrigo Gomes had an early chance, testing Burnley’s goalkeeper, Martin Dubravka, but the shot lacked the power to beat him. Despite some early pressure from the hosts, Burnley struck first in the 14th minute. A perfectly executed diagonal pass from Quilindschy Hartman found Zian Flemming, who volleyed the ball past Sam Johnstone to give Burnley the lead. It was a moment of clinical precision, taking Wolves by surprise.

Just 16 minutes later, Flemming was on the scoresheet again. Another brilliant cross from Hartman allowed Flemming to tap in his second goal, doubling Burnley’s advantage. The Burnley fans were buzzing, but the same couldn't be said for the Wolves supporters, who quickly turned their frustration toward the board. Chants of "We want Fosun out" echoed around Molineux, as the club’s owners came under fire for their ongoing failure to invest in quality replacements for key players.
However, Wolves refused to lie down. In the final moments of the first half, a foul on Santi Bueno led to a penalty for Wolves, and Jørgen Strand Larsen confidently converted to reduce the deficit. Then, in added time, another set-piece opportunity allowed Marshall Munetsi to score a header and level the game just before the break. For a brief moment, it seemed like Wolves might complete a stunning turnaround.
The second half saw Wolves continue to press, as they searched for their first win of the season. A flurry of chances came and went. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde was exceptional, drawing a free-kick that nearly resulted in a lead when Jhon Arias’ powerful strike rattled the crossbar. But as the minutes ticked away, it was Burnley who would have the final say. In the dying moments of stoppage time, a superb pass from Hannibal Mejbri found Lyle Foster, who coolly lifted the ball over Johnstone to score the winner for Burnley.
The scenes of celebration from Burnley’s staff and substitutes, who stormed onto the pitch, contrasted sharply with the despondent faces of the Wolves players and supporters. The loss left Wolves firmly rooted at the bottom of the Premier League, still without a league win this season. Their search for a first victory continues, and with each passing game, the pressure on the club’s management and owners intensifies.
