Aston Villa 2-3 Wolves

IT WAS not the only Birmingham-Black Country derby this weekend, but in terms of entertainment Villa and Wolves fully trumped the undercard the night before.

Where the Championship encounter between West Brom and Birmingham on Friday night was bereft of any quality or real intrigue, the Premier League encounter on Saturday afternoon turned out to be an epic as Wolves came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 — all five goals coming in a fascinating second half.

“I am struggling to process what happened,” admitted shell-shocked Villa boss Dean Smith after the final whistle.
