Villa Secure Second Consecutive Win Over Manchester United
Aston Villa continued their impressive start to the 2021/22 Premier League season, securing a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Villa Park. The win marked Villa's second consecutive victory in the league, following their impressive 3-1 triumph over Manchester United last weekend.

Villa started the game brightly and took the lead through Ollie Watkins in the 20th minute. However, Wolves equalized just before halftime when Fabio Silva capitalized on a defensive error.
The second half was a tense affair, with both teams creating chances but failing to find the decisive goal. In the end, it was Villa who earned the three points thanks to a late header from Tyrone Mings.
The win lifted Villa to eighth in the Premier League table with 10 points, while Wolves remain in 12th with seven points.
