Wolves' quest for their first Premier League victory this season continued as they suffered a 5-3 loss to Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium, remaining at the bottom of the table. The first half in west London was a goal-fest, with six goals scored before the break. Brentford narrowly missed achieving the extraordinary feat of scoring within the first minute of four consecutive league matches. Nathan Collins put Thomas Frank's team ahead with a header in the first minute and 15 seconds, but Brentford's history of dropping points from winning positions persisted. Wolves equalized twice, first through Matheus Cunha's powerful shot and then via Jørgen Strand Larsen's close-range finish. Brentford then tightened their grip on the game, with Christian Nørgaard and Ethan Pinnock scoring to make it 3-2 and 4-2 respectively. The game ended with a flurry of goals in stoppage time, including strikes from Fábio Carvalho and Rayan Aït-Nouri, giving the final score a dramatic edge.
The match started at a frenetic pace, partly driven by the home fans' desire to see their team continue their impressive streak of scoring within the first 60 seconds. Brentford's joy was short-lived as Nélson Semedo's quick move down the right flank allowed Matheus Cunha to equalize. Brentford, determined not to let another early lead slip, regained the advantage through Bryan Mbeumo's penalty. However, Wolves' persistence paid off again when Aït-Nouri's cross found Strand Larsen, who equalized once more. Brentford's slick passing game saw them retake the lead through Nørgaard, and Pinnock's header just before halftime sealed their dominance. Despite more chances in the second half, it was the late goals in stoppage time that provided the final twist, with Aït-Nouri securing a consolation goal for Wolves.
