Keane Lewis-Potter scored his first Premier League goals since January as Brentford piled more misery on Wolves. <\/p>\n
His second-half double settled a largely forgettable game as Wolves continued to rewrite the history books on a miserable afternoon at Molineux that ended with Jorgen Strand Larsen’s late penalty being comfortably saved.<\/p>\n
This defeat extends their club record to 10 successive top-flight defeats and equals the league’s longest winless run from the start of the season.<\/p>\n
Their 17 games without a victory matches Sheffield United’s run set in 2020-21.<\/p>\n
They are 14 points from safety and appear destined for relegation with just two points – putting the record of Derby’s record low of 11 under threat.<\/p>\n
They go to Liverpool and Manchester United to finish the year with no win in sight under Rob Edwards, who has lost all of his opening six matches.<\/p>\n
Jose Sa had already denied Lewis-Potter and made two excellent saves to keep out Kevin Schade before Lewis-Potter struck after 63 minutes. <\/p>\n
He fired in from 10 yards after Wolves allowed Vitaly Janelt’s hopeful ball to bounce in the box, and then sealed the game with a smart finish with eight minutes left.<\/p>\n
The victory lifts Brentford up to 12th, 10 points above the relegation zone. <\/p>\n
Wolves’ woes were compounded when Caoimhin Kelleher, who had fouled Matt Doherty, saved Strand Larsen’s penalty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Keane Lewis-Potter scored his first Premier League goals since January as Brentford piled more misery on Wolves.
