Wolves on Saturday afternoon suffered a shocking defeat in the hands of relegation battling side, West Brom at the Molineux Stadium.
After enduring a less-than-auspicious start to life at the Hawthorns and securing a solitary point against Liverpool, Sam Allardyce was desperate for a first win in charge of the Baggies.
A Matheus Pereira double from the penalty spot and Semi Ajayi‘s looping header helped West Bromwich Albion secure their first win under Sam Allardyce – and another loss for Nuno Santo’s Wolves.
