Gary O’Neil’s men were much the better team throughout the first half at Villa Park, and took the lead through Matheus Cunha.

But Villa, like it did against Everton last week, fought back and completed a superb second-half turnaround.

Ollie Watkins restored parity before Ezri Konsa finished smartly to give his side the lead in the 88th minute.

In-form Jhon Duran put the result beyond all doubt in stoppage-time as Villa climbed into third place on 12 points.

Wolves, which lost Yerson Mosquera to a head injury, slipped to the foot of the table, with just one point from their five matches.
