After two weeks of voting exclusively on the Wolves App, the top 16 moments of Wolves’ 2024/25 season have been whittled down to the winner – the historic achievement of recording six Premier League wins in a row.
Before this season, Wolves had only previously won three Premier League matches in succession after returning to the top flight back in 2003, so to eventually double that tally marked an incredible accomplishment for Vitor Pereira and his squad.
Game 1 | Southampton 1-2 Wolves
After a 1-1 draw at home to Everton to kick off March, the run began with a visit to a sunny Southampton, where Jorgen Strand Larsen stepped up in the absence of the suspended Matheus Cunha by firing two goals either side of half-time.
His first was a perfectly placed header which saw the big Norwegian latch onto the end of an exquisite curling cross from the right wing by Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, before guiding it past the diving arms of Aaron Ramsdale.
The former Arsenal stopper was left beaten for a second time just after the break when Strand Larsen was picked out just outside the Southampton box, before being given room to set himself and place the ball into the bottom left corner of the net. Although Paul Onuachu got one back for the hosts, Wolves held on at St Mary’s to secure a third in in six outings.
Game 2 | Wolves 1-0 West Ham United
An incredible April started in impressive fashion as Wolves dug deep to earn themselves a one goal victory at Molineux against West Ham.
Strand Larsen’s 10th goal of the season helped see off the Hammers under the Molineux lights as the Norwegian made it back-to-back match winners when his deflected strike from outside of the box found its way into the net.
Wolves dominated the first-half of the match and got the goal their play deserved, but despite the visitors improving after the break, the hosts fought tooth and nail to see out the contest and move themselves 12 points clear of the relegation zone and just five behind West Ham.
Game 3 | Ipswich Town 1-2 Wolves
After taking a lead and holding onto it four days earlier against West Ham, Wolves showed a different side to themselves away at Ipswich the following Saturday afternoon as Pereira’s side were forced to come from behind against Ipswich Town.
Wolves travelled to Suffolk knowing the importance of the clash against a relegation rival, and started well at Portman Road, but would eventually trail at the break after Liam Delap’s close-range finish. However, the Old Gold took control in the second 45 and levelled through a low strike from substitute Pablo Sarabia.
The Spaniard then turned provider for the winner, laying off a delightful cross for Strand Larsen to bundle home and claim his third straight winning goal and tie the record for Wolves’ most consecutive Premier League victories.
Game 4 | Wolves 4-2 Tottenham Hotspur
Wolves claimed a fourth successive Premier League win for the first time in history when they scored either side of half-time to see off Tottenham Hotspur at Molineux.
In a goalfest in the Black Country, Rayan Ait-Nouri struck after just 85 seconds to register Wolves’ fastest-ever Premier League goal, before a Djed Spence own goal sent the hosts ahead into the break by two goals.
An action-packed second half saw an improved Spurs mount a response, before Jorgen Strand Larsen restored Wolves’ two-goal cushion. Despite a late scare from the visitors with five minutes left on the clock, the returning Cunha sealed the win moments later to secure all three points for Wolves.
Game 5 | Manchester United 0-1 Wolves
The fifth game of Wolves’ historic Premier League winning run was lacking in any sort of quality until the arrival of Sarabia in the final 15 minutes at Old Trafford.
Wolves and Manchester United were playing out a rather dull goalless draw until the Spaniard came off the bench to who an inch-perfect free-kick into the top corner two minutes later.
Like at Ipswich earlier in the month, Sarabia showed his quality from the bench as he turned a match of few goalmouth chances in Wolves’ favour and helped claim the Old Gold’s first league double over Man United since 1980.
A fifth top flight win in succession for the first time in 55 years also helped move Wolves up to 15th in the Premier League table and confirmed survival with 15 matches to spare.
Game 6 | Wolves 3-0 Leicester City
Wolves continued their excellent run of form and extended their winning streak to a sixth and final match with an emphatic victory over already-relegated Leicester City at Molineux.
Cunha was influential throughout the afternoon as the Brazilian opened the scoring during a dominant first half in gold and black, before providing assists for both goals after the break, with Strand Larsen netting the first of those second-half goals not long after half-time.
Jose Sa preserved the host’s two-goal advantage with a superb save from Jamie Vardy’s penalty 20 minutes from time, before Rodrigo Gomes capped off another outstanding Old Gold performance under Pereira, sealing all three points with a late third goal.
Supporters voted for their favourite moment from the 16 suggested in four rounds of knockout competition and it’s been a close-fought competition right until the final.
Wolves’ historic six wins in a row came out on top against Pereira’s appointment, Ruben Neves’ return to Molineux, Pereira’s first Wolves win away at Leicester City and Rayan Ait-Nouri’s record goal involvements for a defender.
Other moments included into the top 16 bracket included the likes of the West Midlands derby win over Aston Villa, Emmanuel Agbadou’s signing and the three points on Boxing Day against Manchester United.
