Match report

Wolves came from behind to beat Burnley 2-1 at Turf Moor, with Tawanda Chirewa's 72nd-minute goal after coming off the bench deciding it.

Burnley led in the 20th minute when Jamie Vardy scored from Jacob Bruun Larsen's assist for 1-0, but Wolves equalised in the 39th minute through Fer López, set up by Sean Neave. It was 1-1 at half-time.

Burnley made two changes on 61 minutes, sending on Armando Broja and Dastan Satpaev for Jamie Vardy and Jacob Bruun Larsen, while Wolves also changed one player at that point as Jean-Ricner Bellegarde made way for Mateus Mane. Reo Hatate was booked in the 63rd minute and Sean Neave went into the book on 70 minutes before Wolves turned the game around two minutes later, when Mateus Mane crossed for Chirewa, who had come on in the 72nd minute, to make it 2-1. Burnley then made another change in the 75th minute and Wolves used a double substitution on 87 minutes to protect the lead.

Wolves had 54% of the ball and 477 passes to Burnley's 413, while also having more shots, 20 to 15, and more on target, 8 to 4. They also finished with 6 corners to 3 and a higher xG figure, 1.76 to 1.04, though Burnley were caught offside 7 times and Wolves none. Burnley's goalkeeper made 5 saves, with Wolves' keeper making 3.

Burnley were booked twice, with Reo Hatate cautioned in the 63rd minute and Kyle Walker in the 90th. Wolves had one yellow card, for Sean Neave in the 70th minute. There were no red cards.
