Burnley were sharper and more committed but mid-table Wolves contributed to their downfall with some sloppy defensive work at an empty Molineux. The away side took the lead in the 15th minute after Wolves defender Willy Boly misjudged a header and the ball fell to Wood. Dwight McNeil seized on a sloppy pass from Adama Traore, crossing for Wood to tap home from close range. McNeil was again the provider as Wood completed his hat-trick shortly before half-time, heading home a corner. Wood, who is now Burnley’s outright top scorer in the Premier League, is the first player from New Zealand to score a Premier League hat-trick.
