Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Aston Villa LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Cash gets forward down the right-hand side for the first time today but his cross looking for Sanson is immediately blocked and turned behind for a corner by Marcal.

Aston Villa’s first corner of the match is swung in from the left by Bailey looking for Konsa but Sa steps off his line to make a comfortable catch.

Ramsey attempts to slip a disguised pass through the Wolves defence and into the penalty area but a wonderful sliding tackle from Marcal dispossesses the visitors and allows Kilman to clear.

The free-kick is worked short to Trincao, which allows him to put a cross into the penalty area from an altered angle. The delivery is a good one but Konsa rises highest, nodding the ball to the edge of the 18-yard box. It’s a presentable chance for Podence but the forward can only skew his first-time volley wide of the goal.

Ramsey’s tackle on Jonny in midfield gets the ball but he’s done so with too much force says the referee - who awards Wolves a free-kick.

The worry increases for Gerrard as play comes to a halt for Digne, who has gone down in some pain after a coming together with Trincao. It appeared innocuous enough but it’s clearly more serious than it looked at first glance as Aston Villa begin movement on their bench.

Gerrard is absolutely furious with his side from the touchline, less than impressed with his side’s defending in the last five minutes. Both Konsa and Mings have struggled in recent moments with both their footing and their marking, which Lage’s side are quite clearly looking to exploit.

ALMOST TWO! Silva looks to make amends after fluffing his lines in the lead-up to the goal earlier by beating Mings for pace and power to get to Jonny’s ball down the wing. The striker manages to get into the penalty area and fire a shot at goal - forcing a great save from Martinez!

Both sides have started the match intently, pressing high to prevent their opponents from settling on the ball. The midfield has been quite solid and compact for both teams - forcing attacks over the top and down the flanks.

Dendoncker turns and fires a long pass over the top of the defence after spotting the run of Silva but Konsa tracks back well to clean up the danger, preventing Martinez from involving himself.
