Published on June 27, 2020, Aston Villa's Premier League status is in jeopardy following their 1-0 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Despite being given a rare start, Tanzanian striker Mbwana Samatta failed to inspire his team, and the Villans' lackluster form continued.
Wolverhampton Wanderers' midfielder Leander Dendoncker scored the only goal of the game in the 62nd minute, securing a crucial win for the Wolves.
Aston Villa's reliance on Jack Grealish for inspiration was evident, with the team failing to create any significant scoring opportunities.
Samatta's pairing with strike partner Keinan Davis failed to yield any notable results, and the team's poor movement and service from their playmakers hindered their chances.
The defeat marks Aston Villa's fourth loss in their last six matches, with the team struggling to find their footing in the Premier League.
Wolverhampton Wanderers, on the other hand, secured their third consecutive win since the league restart, keeping pace with Chelsea in fourth place and displacing Manchester United in sixth.
