Hungry Wolves bring Villa back down to Earth after Euro High

Aston Villa 0-2 Wolverhampton Wanderers
by Gene Sylvester
at Villa Park

 

UNAI EMERY and his Aston Villa team returned to Premier League duty on Saturday after a thrilling night at Villa Park in midweek which saw them beat Celtic and confirm their place in the top eight of the Champions League group phase, but a hungry Wolves team were waiting for them at Molineux Stadium to bring them back down to Earth with a thud.

Goals from Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Matheus Cunha gave the home side a much deserved 2-0 victory against their more illustrious West Midlands neighbours, and in doing so, elevated the Wanderers out of the bottom three following Leicester City’s defeat at Goodison Park earlier in the day.
