Stat Attack: All you need to know about Aston Villa 2-3 Wolves

Wolves came from 2-0 down with 10 minutes to go to secure an impressive West Midlands derby victory at Villa Park.

Danny Ings gave Aston Villa the lead just after half-time, expertly steering in a header from a John McGinn cross.

It was then a case of provider turning finisher as McGinn doubled Villa's lead midway through the second half via a deflected drive.

With just 10 minutes to go, Roman Saiss sparked a stunning comeback when halving the deficit from inside the six-yard box.

Wolves captain Conor Coady drew the scores level in the 85th minute before the visitors completed the job in the fifth minute of stoppage time — Ruben Neves' free-kick cruelly beating Emiliano Martinez thanks to a wicked deflection, sparking jubilant scenes in the visiting section.

After the victory, Wolves manager Bruno Lage could not contain his delight. Lage said: "Every time I believe.

"It's easy for me to say now I made the right choice. The other players who start or come on, help the team to win three points.

"We did three good performances in the first three games but did not get any points.

"The confidence came with hard work. The players are seeing what we are doing and with victories."
