Second Half: Wolves Double Lead and Luton's Late Rally
Early in the second half, Toti Gomes gave Wolves a greater lead by nodding in Mario Lemina's cross following a deft set-piece move. Eighty minutes in, Luton grabbed one back through Morris, but not before Nelson Semedo had an opportunity to make it three, setting up a frantic finish. But Wolves managed to hang on and win.

Wolves' standout player was Hwang Hee-chan, who scored a vital goal to snap his four-month goal drought. Wolves had the momentum they needed to win thanks to his goal. Furthermore, Jose Sa's crucial saves prevented Luton from scoring and guaranteed that Wolves would not lose the lead.
