Wolves 2-0 Aston Villa: Diogo Jota and Léo Bonatini send Wanderers top of Championship

Wolves moved two points clear at the top of the Championship, as second-half goals from Diogo Jota and Leo Bonatini earned them a deserved 2-0 win against local rivals Aston Villa at Molineux.

Jota's seventh goal of the season in the 55th minute set Wolves on their way before half-time substitute Bonatini took his tally to five after 71 minutes.

Wolves dominated the match and their margin of victory could have been far greater.

Villa had gone into the match on the back of four straight wins but never really got into the game at all.
