Wolves vs Brentford LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction today

Relive all the action from Molineux

FILE: Salah scores 100th Premier League goal

Ivan Toney inspired Brentford to their first away win in the top flight for 74 years with a 2-0 victory at Wolves.

Toney almost moved to Molineux from Northampton as a teenager in 2014, the move collapsing when he failed a medical, so it was perhaps inevitable he would star as Wolves slumped to a fourth straight home Premier League defeat.

The 25-year-old had a goal, an assist and two disallowed in the first half alone as a clinical Brentford side got their first top-flight win since beating Leeds 2-1 in 1947, with Bryan Mbeumo also on target.

A second-half red card for Shandon Baptiste threatened to spoil Brentford’s afternoon, but, even though Wolves finished on top, they failed to score for a fourth league match out of five this season. Relive all the action below:

Wolves vs Brentford

Wolves welcome Brentford to Molineux

Welcome to The Independent’s live coverage as Wolves host Brentford in Saturday afternoon’s early Premier League kick-off.

Bruno Lage’s side got off the mark with a 2-0 win over Watford last weekend and will be hoping to build on that momentum. Meanwhile, Brentford have taken to the top-flight in great style, taking five points from their opening four games, including that tremendous opening day victory against Arsenal.
