Wolves vs Watford 1-0

Adam Armstrong's 35th-minute goal was enough for Wolves to beat Watford 1-0 at Molineux Stadium on Saturday 24 October 2026. They kept that lead and left Watford with nothing after a night in which the visitors did not manage a shot on target.

Armstrong opened the scoring in the 35th minute from no assist listed, and Wolves took a 1-0 lead into half-time. No other goals came before the break.

Watford made two changes on 72 minutes and Wolves matched that with two on 78 minutes as the home side protected the advantage. Armstrong, who was replaced on 78 minutes, had already done the damage, and Wolves later made two more changes in first-half stoppage time, including Hugo Bueno. Watford also sent on Rocco Vata for Iker Bravo on 85 minutes, but they never found an equaliser.

The numbers point to Wolves having most of the game. They had 63% of possession, 479 passes to Watford's 301, 24 shots to 4, 3 on target to none and 14 corners to 2. Expected goals also leaned heavily towards the hosts at 1.88 to 0.15, while both sides finished level on 11 fouls. Wolves had 1 offside and Watford 0, and the visitors' goalkeeper made 3 saves.

There were four yellow cards for Wolves and three for Watford. Kieran Trippier was booked on 41 minutes, as was Iker Bravo, while Hector Kyprianou was cautioned on 49 minutes. Jordan Zemura was booked on 74 minutes, Thomas Doyle on 79, Hugo Bueno on 87 and José Sá on 88.
