LONDON (Reuters) – Hwang Hee-chan scored twice to lead Wolverhampton Wanderers to a 4-1 Premier League victory over Brentford on Wednesday in an end-to-end mid-table clash that featured four goals in the opening half hour.
Gary O’Neil’s Wolves, who netted three goals in a league game for the first time this season, moved to 11th in the Premier League table on 25 points. Brentford are 15th on 19 points, four points clear of the drop zone.
Mario Lemina opened the floodgates in the 13th minute when he leapt to head in a long cross from Pablo Sarabia, the first of three goals in three minutes.
Hwang doubled Wolves’ lead a minute later when defender Nathan Collins sold keeper Mark Flekken short and the Wolves forward beat Collins for an easy finish.
Yoane Wissa pulled one back for the hosts in the 16th minute when he stretched out a leg to tap a nice flick from Neal Maupay past Jose Sa.
Hwang completed his brace when he chipped the ball around Ethan Pinnock and finished neatly before Jeanricner Bellegarde completed the rout in the 79th minute.
