EPL 24/25: Aston Villa fight back to secure a 3-1 victory against Wolves

Aston Villa's match really started in the 73rd minute when they finally shook off their European hangover and levelled through Ollie Watkins' third goal in as many matches.
After the equaliser, Villa Park expected a winner.
Unai Emery's side have tasted victory in all their matches bar one this season, which was itself a battling defeat by title challengers Arsenal.
The hosts pushed for a second and were rewarded by unlikely scorer Ezri Konsa sliding in for his first goal since he netted against Wolves in March.
Jhon Duran's goal on the break - incredibly his fourth this season without starting a fixture - flattered the hosts, but Villa are now a team who find a way to win even when they play badly.
They move up to third in the Premier League - level on points with leaders Liverpool and Manchester City, who welcome Arsenal on Sunday.
There may have been actual storm clouds gathering over Villa Park on Saturday, but right now things look very bright for the West Midlands club.
