How these teams kept 11 men each on the field for so long is anyone’s guess after a game in which Wolves and Aston Villa spent more time winding each other up than playing football.
When Wolves midfielder Mario Lemina was finally shown the red card in stoppage time for a second booking, it felt incredible that he was the first and only player dismissed after what had happened before. In trying to let the match flow, referee Rob Jones lost his grip on it early and never regained it.
Craig Dawson and John McGinn treated the first half as an audition for WWE wrestling and Douglas Luiz somehow avoided punishment for a forearm smash on Hwang Hee Chan.
