Wolves moved past Derby’s record-low Premier League points tally as they dealt a blow to Aston Villa’s top-four hopes with a 2-0 win at Molineux. It had looked for much of the season that Wolves would struggle to match the meagre 11 points the Rams posted in the 2007-08 season. But second-half goals from Joao Gomes and Rodrigo Gomes gave them just a second win in 29 games, which takes them to 13 and beyond the possible notoriety of being the worst-ever Premier League team. It was especially sweet to come against local rivals Aston Villa, who have a terrible recent record at Molineux. And Unai Emery’s men put in a woeful display as their Champions League qualification hopes took another hit.
