We lost 1-2 after giving up the winning goal just before the end of the game.
With Hwang Hee-chan (28) out due to injury, Wolverhampton of the English Professional Football Premier League (EPL) fell to the bottom of the league.
As of the 21st (Korean time), the 2024-2025 EPL season has completed 8 rounds, excluding the match between Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace.
As of this day, Wolverhampton is at the bottom of the league with 1 draw and 7 losses (1 point). They have the same points as 19th-place Southampton, but are one point behind in goal difference.
It was painful to lose 1-2 in the 8th round against Manchester City held at home on the 20th.
Wolverhampton took a quick lead with Jergen Stran Larsen’s first goal in the 7th minute of the first half.
However, they allowed Joszko Gvardiol to equalize in the 33rd minute of the first half.
It seemed like they would get at least one point against the ‘big catch’ Manchester City, but they lost when they gave up a dramatic comeback winning goal to John Stones in the 50th minute of the second half.
Wolverhampton’s slump has been prolonged even further as they have yet to win a league game since the start of this season.
Hwang Hee-chan’s absence due to injury was painful.
Although Hwang Hee-chan is underperforming this season, he was able to use it as a card to revitalize Wolverhampton’s frustrating performance with his unique breakthrough.
However, Hwang Hee-chan suffered an injury after strongly colliding with the opposing defense several times in the away match against Jordan on the 10th in the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup Asia 3rd Group B qualifier match (2-0 Korea won).
According to multiple foreign media, the recovery period will take about three weeks.
Meanwhile, Wolverhampton will play the 9th round of the league with an away trip to Brighton on the 26th.
