Premier League Goal Summary: Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Swansea City
Wolverhampton Wanderers played host to the newly promoted side Swansea City, as both the teams were looking to get their season on track, with a win.
Despite Wolves being the more experienced Premier League side, they had not been performing all that well lately and hence Swansea had a real chance of getting something out of the game.

the net.

Wolves tried to turn the game around in the second half, as they kept attacking Swansea who seemed inclined to defending their lead in the game.
In the 84th minute Vokes smacked a shot towards the Swansea goal. Vorm parried the ball way, but Doyle smashed the rebound into the back of the net.
In the 86th minute, Wolves continued their rampant form, as O’Hara received a pass and then went on to smack a shot into the top of the net.
