Wolverhampton lost 1-3 to Aston Villa in the fifth round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, on the 21st (Korea time).
Wolverhampton came out in a 4-4-1-1 formation. Jorgensen Strand Larsen on the front line, Matheus Cunha on the second line, and João Gomes, Andre, Mario Lemina and Jean-Lichner Velegaard on the midfield. Nelsong Semedu, Craig Dawson, Yersson Mosquera and Rayan Ait Nouri were in the defense. The goal was defended by Sam Johnstone.
Hwang Hee-chan was also on the replacement list in the game. Hwang Hee-chan has started in two games since the opening of the league, and since then, he has been on the replacement list in both the third and fourth rounds, but this game was no different. After the previous League Cup match against Brighton, there was even an evaluation that "Wolverhampton's worst player this season", but manager Gary O'Neill did not give Hwang Hee-chan a chance to start.
Aston Villa also faced off with a 4-4-1-1 formation. Ollie Watkins on the one-top, followed by Morgan Rogers. John McGinn, Amadou Onana, Yuri Tillemans and Jacob Ramsey worked together in the midfield. Four backs were built by Ezri Konsa, Diego Carlos, Pau Torres, and Lucadinho. The goalkeeper's gloves were worn by Emiliano Martinez.

After the opening goal, Wolverhampton sought an extra point. In the 32nd minute of the first half, both Andre's shot and Larsen's shot were caught in defense and could not head into the goal. Larsen's shot from the right side of the box in the 42nd minute of the first half was also caught by the goalkeeper.
The two teams with no additional points scored finished the first half with Wolverhampton's 1-0 lead.

Wolverhampton made the first replacement in the 20th minute of the second half. It was Gonzalo Guedes, not Hwang Hee-chan. Larsen was out and Guedes was put in, making changes to the offense.
Aston Villa cut through the Wolverhampton defence. Watkins, who received Rodgers' pass in the 28th minute of the second half, attempted to shoot in the box, and the ball bounced high off the defense, crossed Johnstone and shook the net as it was.
He turned the game around by scoring additional goals and netting goals. In the 43rd minute of the second half, Konsa pushed a cross from the left side of the penalty box with his feet and cut the goal of Wolverhampton. Rodgers' attempt from the right side of the box was connected to John Duran in the center in the second half of the extra time counterattack. Duran finished calmly with a shot to break Wolverhampton with his third goal.
In the end, the match ended with a 3-1 victory for Aston Villa.
