Wolves create unwanted Premier League history with 3-0 defeat to Fulham

Wolves lost yet again in the Premier league on Saturday, this time to Fulham at Craven Cottage.

Wanderers came up well short in the capital, with Vitor Pereira suggesting it was the worst performance he’s seen from the team under him to date.

Ryan Sessegnon put the home side ahead after just eight minutes and Wolves were then given a mountain to climb when Emmanuel Agbadou was sent off for a last-man challenge.

There was some VAR controversy with the Agbadou red card, but a potential handball by Josh King in the build up was cleared.

Harry Wilson then added a second for Fulham, and an own goal by Yerson Mosquera capped off a miserable day.

And this latest result was significant, because it meant Wolves actually created some very unwanted Premier League history.

Many Wolves fans will say that there was little to no chance of a victory yesterday purely from the starting XI that Pereira chose.

Incredibly, Pereira left Joao Gomes and Andre out of his line-up.

After the game Pereira spoke about trying to find solutions and having tried everything to find a winning formula.

But he got it completely wrong, and there will now be increased speculation around his position as manager.

As a result of failing to win yesterday, Wolves have actually now created some unwanted Premier League history.

As per Squawka, Wolves are now the only team in Premier League history to have failed to record a win in their first 10 games for two consecutive seasons.

The statistic shames Pereira and also former head coach Gary O’Neil, but mainly Fosun, who have overseen this mess.

More unwanted history could follow for Wolves

This is a truly shocking statistic and all involved should be embarrassed.

But there could actually be more embarrassment on the horizon if these players don’t get their act together.

Premier League fans have long wondered if the lowest-ever points record set by Derby County in the 2007/08 season will be broken.

And at the moment, Wolves fans are extremely worried they could watch their side do just that.

That season, the Rams finished with 11 points. With just two on the board so far, Wolves actually look on course to potentially threaten that, which is shameful.
