Wolves equalled the lowest Christmas points tally in Premier League history after a 2-0 defeat to Brentford at Molineux. Keane Lewis-Potter scored twice to secure the win for the visitors, leaving rock-bottom Wolves with just two points from 17 matches.
The result matches the paltry total managed by Sheffield United at the same stage in the 2020/21 season, although the Blades had played only 14 games. Wolves' winless start to the campaign continued with a tenth straight loss, despite a spirited performance against Arsenal the previous weekend.
Frustrated fans voiced their anger, chanting 'you're not fit to wear the shirt' and loudly booing after Jorgen Strand-Larsen saw a late penalty saved by Caoimhin Kelleher. Before the match, a minute's silence was held for academy product Ethan McLeod, who died aged 21 in a car accident.
Brentford dominated possession and created the better chances. Lewis-Potter opened the scoring in the 63rd minute after a defensive mix-up, then added a second late on. Wolves had a penalty awarded after a VAR check but Strand-Larsen's stuttered run-up ended with a weak spot-kick saved by Kelleher.
