THE SHOCKING REASON WOLVES FANS PROTESTED AGAINST FOSUN DURING THE BRENTFORD CLASH
A dark day at Molineux: Wolves fall to Brentford 2-0 amid fan protests, owner resignations, and a missed late penalty.
Wolves had a terrible Christmas, hitting a Premier League low after their 10th straight loss. Brentford beat them 2-0 at Molineux, with Keane Lewis-Potter scoring twice.
Rob Edwards' team couldn't repeat their near-miss against Arsenal from last week, and their awful, winless season start just kept going.
Mistakes let Lewis-Potter score twice in what was a messy and boring game. Wolves are dead last with only two points from 17 games going into Christmas.
That's as bad as Sheffield United in 2020/21, but they'd played fewer games then.
Wolves fans were mad, chanting, "You're not fit to wear the shirt." To top it off, Jorgen Strand-Larsen had a late penalty saved by goalie Caoimhin Kelleher, and the game ended with loud boos.
Before the game, the stadium was quiet in remembrance of Ethan McLeod, a 21-year-old who came up through the academy. He died in a car crash on his way back from Macclesfield’s game on Tuesday.
His family and friends stood by the field, along with his brother Conor, who plays for Wolves' Under-21s.
Edwards made some lineup changes, but a promising start faded fast. Brentford ended up controlling the ball more than usual.
In the 18th minute, fans held up signs that said "Our Club," asking the owners, Fosun, to sell after Jeff Shi stepped down as chairman.
Soon after, Kelleher tipped a shot over the bar, but it wasn't until the 32nd minute that either team actually took a shot—the longest wait in a Premier League game in six years.
There was only one shot on goal in the first half, and Jose Sa saved Lewis-Potter's shot.
Early in the second half, the Wolves' goalie stopped Kevin Schade twice.
But Wolves fans could see what was coming and started singing about old club legends just as Brentford scored in the 63rd minute. It could have been avoided.
Vitaly Janelt's hopeful ball bounced over Ladislav Krejci, and Lewis-Potter smashed the loose ball home.
Wolves tried to tie the game, but Brentford almost scored again.
It didn't take Brentford long to score again, though. In the 83rd minute, Lewis-Potter stretched to turn in a cross.
Many Wolves fans left, but those who stayed saw their team get a late penalty. Kelleher was called for a foul on Matt Doherty.
VAR checked the call and agreed, but Strand Larsen's penalty was saved after a strange run-up, and Wolves fans questioned his technique.
The game ended with loud boos at Molineux.
CONOR GALLAGHER CONFIRMED AS "VITAL" STARTER FOR SPURS FOLLOWING BENTANCUR’S INJURY LAYOFF
Conor Gallagher proved the doubters wrong against Man City. Discover why his €40m move to Tottenham is finally paying off for Spurs.

Chelsea and Atletico Madrid both decided Conor Gallagher wasn’t worth the trouble. At Chelsea, he had his moments—Pochettino liked him, but the fans never really warmed up. When Chelsea shipped him off to Atletico, it made sense. Enzo Fernandez stepped up, took over Gallagher’s role, and fit in perfectly next to Caicedo, with Cole Palmer adding that extra spark up front.
Things didn’t get much better for Gallagher in Spain. He barely got a chance at Atleti, lost his spot in the starting eleven, and pretty much ended up on the transfer list before anyone had time to blink. Interest was lukewarm at best until the winter window rolled around. Aston Villa wanted him and went after him pretty aggressively, but then Tottenham swooped in late. Spurs needed someone to patch up the midfield after Bentancur’s injury, so they just paid up—40 million euros, no hesitation.
His start at Tottenham? Rough. Honestly, that was to be expected. He’d played well at Palace before, but after his struggles at Atleti, he needed time to adjust. Sitting on the bench in Spain didn’t do him any favours.
Then Gallagher showed up. People doubted whether he could really add creativity and move the ball forward for Spurs, so his early struggles got people worried. But then came the 2-2 draw against Manchester City. He suddenly looked like the player both Ange Postecoglou and Thomas Frank were so desperate to sign.
Against City, Gallagher flipped the script. He set up a crucial assist, drove play forward on the dribble, and kept drawing fouls—everything the Spurs needed. Defensively, he was all over the place in a good way: two tackles, three interceptions, a full 90 minutes, and a huge part of the Spurs clawing their way back into the game.
Tottenham fans loved it. They saw the effort, the attitude, and the hunger to win. Gallagher just wouldn’t quit, and in that second half, he, Xavi Simons, Pape Matar Sarr, Destiny Udogie, and Dominic Solanke ran the show. Four of those guys have been carrying Spurs lately, so Gallagher is fitting right in with them. That’s a pretty good sign he’s going to work out just fine in North London.
