A superb strike from Boubacar Kamara earned Aston Villa a 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday and moved the hosts up to third in the Premier League standings.

The visitors had the better of the first-half chances and Jorgen Strand Larsen thought he had put them ahead but was denied by the offside flag, before a sensational Emiliano Martinez save kept the scores level just before the break.

It took until the second half for Villa to really get going, with Wolves missing several more chances before Kamara gave the home crowd something to shout about, arrowing a thunderous shot into the top corner in the 67th minute.

Villa stood firm to see out a fifth successive win in all competitions and move third in the standings, one point behind second-placed Manchester City. Wolves remained in deep trouble, bottom on two points and nine points from safety.
