Boos, Drama, and a 95th-Minute Heartbreaker Wolves Hit Rock Bottom
Pereira Faces the Fire as Wolves’ Nightmare Run Deepens
Once the hero who saved Wolves from the drop, Vítor Pereira is now facing boos, fury, and chants calling for his head. What began with cheers and pints shared with fans last season has turned into tension and confrontation — and on Saturday, it finally boiled over.
From Glory to Chaos
Six months ago, Wolves were celebrating survival after six straight wins. Now, they’re stuck at the bottom — the only team across England’s top four divisions still without a league victory. Their 3–2 home defeat to Burnley summed up everything wrong with their season: courage, collapse, and heartbreak in the 95th minute.
After coming back from two goals down, Wolves were seconds away from a crucial point when Lyle Foster smashed in the winner. Pereira, visibly emotional, approached the South Bank fans — only to be met with jeers and chants of “You’re getting sacked in the morning!”
We Must Stay United
Pereira didn’t back down. “We fight, we work, we stay together — that’s the only way,” he told reporters after the game. “If we win two or three games, everything changes. Last year they sang my name because we stayed up. Now they want me gone. That’s football.”
The Wolves manager’s words carried truth — and pain. The club has sold key players year after year, leaving him with a thinner, less experienced squad. Still, he insisted there’s spirit in this group. “If I was a fan, I’d be proud of the fight,” he said.
Burnley’s Plan Works Perfectly
Scott Parker’s Burnley executed their strategy flawlessly. Two early goals from Zian Flemming — the first a stunning volley, the second a close-range tap-in — had Wolves reeling. “We practiced those runs all week,” Parker revealed. “It worked exactly as planned.”
But Wolves did respond. Jørgen Strand Larsen scored from the penalty spot before Marshall Munetsi headed in a leveller just before halftime. Molineux roared again.
Then came the dagger — Hannibal Mejri’s perfect pass, Foster’s cold-blooded finish, and Burnley’s bench sprinting onto the pitch in wild celebration.
The Pressure Mounts
As Wolves stare down two games against Chelsea and a trip to Fulham, questions are flying: is Pereira the problem, or just the scapegoat? One thing is clear — time is running out.
