Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. managed to secure a point against Sunderland A.F.C. at Molineux Stadium on May 2, 2026, marking their first goal in 47 days despite their relegation from the Premier League.
Wolves are currently bottom of the Premier League table, three points behind Burnley. They have lost twenty-three matches this season, matching their joint-most in a 38-game campaign. Additionally, Wolves have failed to score in a league-high eighteen different Premier League matches this season.
Sunderland, on the other hand, is aiming to secure a place in the top half of the Premier League table with a victory over Wolves. They currently sit 12th, four points adrift of the top six and seeking to complete their first league double over Wolves since the 1949-50 campaign.
Key match statistics:
- Wolves have won just once in eighteen league games during May.
- Sunderland has kept a clean sheet in their last four league games against Wolves.
- The last meeting between these two teams ended with Sunderland winning 2-0 on October 18, 2025.
Santi Bueno scored Wolves’ first goal in nearly seven weeks during this match. His second-half leveller helped earn Wolves a crucial point as they continue to play for pride after their relegation was confirmed earlier this month. Dan Ballard was sent off for Sunderland during the match for pulling Tolu Arokodare’s hair.
Despite recent struggles, Sunderland remains in the hunt for European qualification but has lost their last two matches, conceding nine goals in that span. The match will not be broadcast live on TV in the UK due to the standard Saturday 3pm television blackout.
