Wolves vs Burnley LIVE: Premier League latest score and updates as Hwang Hee-Chan nets opener
Vincent Kompany’s Burnley travel to Wolves in the hopes of backing up their impressive victory over Sheffield United at the weekend and taking strides to avoid the relegation zone.
The Clarets defeat the Blades 5-0 in a fluid and sweeping game of attacking football that felt reminiscent of their Championship dominance last season and Kompany will want to use that win as a springboard to take Burnley even further.
For their part, Wolves have lost their last two league games and a victory would propel them up the table and increase the gap above the relegation zone.

HALF-TIME: WOLVES 1-0 BURNLEY.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Burnley
Almost! Cunha brings the ball out of the sky with a delicate touch to find Sarabia, who looks to send Lemina through on goal. The Wolves midfielder is matched stride for stride by O'Shea, though, and the Burnley defender makes a crucial block to deny Wolves a clear route to goal.

Burnley get men behind the ball to slow that Wolves break, then Ekdal almost sells Taylor short with a pass inside his own half. The Clarets' attempts to play out are admirable, but they need to cut out those errors.

Burnley look to finish the half with a flourish as their centre-backs are waved forward for a Vitinho long throw. Dawson slices an awful clearance up in the air, but O'Shea's attempt to cross is even worse, setting Semedo off on a counterattack on the far side.

We will have four minutes of stoppage time before the break, presumably owing to Koleosho's earlier injury.

All of a sudden, there's a hunger about Wolves as they press Burnley with greater intensity. Kompany will be fuming with that goal. The Clarets had been in control, but they made their own problems again there!

Goal Hee-Chan Hwang

Gomes does brilliantly to ride a challenge from Brownhill before being hauled to the ground by Berge, relieving a spell of Burnley pressure. Wolves want a yellow card for the Clarets man, but none is forthcoming.

The home fans are growing restless as we enter the final five minutes of this opening period. Wolves have been lacklustre and if not for their stand-in goalkeeper, they would be behind!

HUGE DOUBLE SAVE FROM BENTLEY! Burnley are almost gifted the opener, but Bentley keeps them out! Gomes tries an ill-advised backheel under pressure on the byline, allowing Gudmundsson to recover possession and cross low for Rodriguez. His close-range finish is smothered by Bentley, who then dives to his right to tip Brownhill's follow-up wide of the post! Great goalkeeping!
