Wolves broke their six-game winless streak in the Premier League, exerting pressure on relegation-threatened Luton Town with a victory at Molineux.
Hwang Hee-chan broke the deadlock late in the first half, scoring his first club goal since December 27th. The South Korean forward capitalized on a deflection off defender Teden Mengi, finding the net just 18 seconds after Luton’s Carlton Morris missed a golden opportunity to put his side ahead.
Wolves continued to assert themselves after halftime, quickly doubling their lead five minutes into the second half as Toti Gomes headed in at the far post.
Despite dominating the second half, Gary O’Neil’s side squandered several chances to extend their lead, with Boubacar Traore, Nelson Semedo, and Rayan Ait-Nouri all missing promising opportunities.
Luton Town managed to pull one back through Morris’s volley from close range, offering a glimmer of hope for a late comeback. However, they failed to find an equalizer.
The victory propelled Wolves to 10th place in the table, closing the gap to eighth-placed West Ham by three points. Meanwhile, Luton remained in 18th place, still one point behind 17th-placed Nottingham Forest, with a considerable deficit in goal difference.
