Tempers go at Wolverhampton
Victor Osimhen was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Victor Osimhen in the eights
A performance of 10.00 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Nobody could stop scoring
6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Wolverhampton and Bournemouth in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Wolverhampton get the job done against Bournemouth
A 4‑2 win over Bournemouth, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

John Wilson steps up from the Wolverhampton academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. John Wilson has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
