Boubacar Kamara's stunning goal was enough to earn Aston Villa their seventh win in eight Premier League games and bragging rights over local rivals Wolves.
The Frenchman expertly fired home in the second half to secure a 1-0 victory which moved Villa up to third in the table ahead of Chelsea’s clash with Arsenal later on Sunday.
It was a goal worthy of the three points as Villa continued to show they are again going to be competing at the top end of the table.
That looked questionable after a dreadful summer transfer window led to a lacklustre start to the campaign, where they failed to win any of their opening five games and scored just once.
But the following eight games have shown Villa are again going in the right direction under Unai Emery.
For Wolves, the Championship trap door is getting closer with every passing week as they are rooted to the foot of the table, nine points off safety.
Goals in each half from Maxim De Cuyper and Stefanos Tzimas earned Brighton a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
The Seagulls secured their third win in four to climb to fifth in the Premier League table and the result also served as sweet revenge for the 7-0 thrashing they suffered at this ground back in February.
