On Saturday, December 20, 2025, Wolverhampton Wanderers suffered yet another defeat in a season that’s turned into a nightmare for the club and its supporters. Brentford visited Molineux and left with a 2–0 win, inflicting more pain on a Wolves side struggling for form, confidence, and answers
Scoreline That Tells the Story
Brentford scored twice in the second half to secure a 2–0 victory over Wolves:
-
Keane Lewis‑Potter broke the deadlock in the 63rd minute.
-
He doubled it in the 83rd minute, effectively sealing the points for the Bees.
The result leaves Wolves still without a Premier League win this season, with their poor run continuing at home — a trend fans find increasingly hard to stomach.
Wolves’ Struggles Deepen
This campaign has been a brutal test for Wolves. Entering the fixture, the club was already struggling near the bottom of the league and desperate for its first three points. Predictions before the game even warned that Wolves’ historic losing streak and terrible home form could cost them heavily.
Fans had hoped that recent tactical tweaks and a late challenge against Arsenal might spark something, but the Brentford result showed just how far Wolves are from turning things around.
Brentford’s Smart Performance
Brentford didn’t just edge this game — they took control when it mattered. After a quiet first half, they came out sharper, exploiting Wolves’ defensive weaknesses and taking their chances clinically. Lewis‑Potter’s brace capped off a strong performance by the visitors.
For the Bees, this win was a welcome boost after a mixed run of form and a tough schedule that included a heavy midweek defeat in the Carabao Cup.
Molineux: Frustration Turns to Anger
Fans inside Molineux — and on social platforms — made their feelings clear. The mood in Wolverhampton has shifted from hope to irritation and disbelief as Wolves repeatedly fail to convert chances and secure points, even against mid‑table opponents like Brentford.
Among the comments in fan threads post‑match, supporters lamented the lack of fight and questioned whether the club’s strategy is paying off — especially after the recent news of executive chairman Jeff Shi stepping back from daily operations amid fan unrest.
What This Means for Wolves
A loss like this does more than just add another defeat to the stats — it chips away at belief. Wolves are now deep in the relegation fight, with every game becoming a must‑win that they continue to lose.
Bottom line:
Brentford left Molineux with all three points, while Wolves’ hopes of a turnaround look bleaker by the week.
