- On Friday, Wolverhampton Wanderers beat Aston Villa 2-0 in the West Midlands derby, with Joao Gomes and Rodrigo Gomes scoring to take Wolves to 13 points from 29 games.

- Goalkeeper Jose Sa praised the side, saying `It was a very good performance, every player did well`, as wild celebrations erupted while Emery stormed down the tunnel.
