Aston Villa defeated West Midlands rivals Wolves 3-1 at Villa Park as Unai Emery's side came back from behind to claim successive home wins.

Villa beat Everton 3-2 last weekend after going two goals behind, but another comeback was looking unlikely on Saturday as it took the hosts until the 73rd minute to level the match up. Ollie Watkins was on hand to finish past Sam Johnstone after being played through by Morgan Rogers.

Ezri Konsa put Villa in front in the 88th minute by applying the finishing touch to Youri Tielemans' cross, before super-sub Jhon Duran made sure of the points in added time by tapping in Rogers' cross from the left.
