Wolves 2-4 Bournemouth – a day Sa can forget as pressure mounts on O’Neil

Wolves 2-4 Bournemouth – a day Sa can forget as pressure mounts on O’Neil

Wolves came into this match on a four-game unbeaten run and picked up their best win of the season with a 4-1 win over Fulham a week ago.

However, their momentum came to an abrupt halt after a terribly poor performance as they lost 4-2 at home to Bournemouth.

It was also an unforgettable day for home goalkeeper Jose Sa, who conceded two of three penalties, all scored by Justin Kluivert, thus becoming the first player since the 1950s to score a hat-trick in penalties in the English league – a flying game .

Sa also got into an ugly altercation with a home supporter during half-time, which resulted in two fans being ejected from the stand by the referees.

The result put Gary O’Neil’s side back in the relegation zone and put the pressure on the boss again, with the team being booed at the final whistle.

Some fans also joined in the mocking chants against O’Neil that were sung by Bournemouth fans, the team O’Neil previously captained.
