Wolves chaos as tempers boil over between players and fans following nightmare Ipswich defeat

There was chaos at Molineux on Saturday as tempers flared following Wolves’ nightmare 2-1 defeat to Ipswich Town.

The hosts had gone into the contest hoping to avoid losing for the fourth match in a row.


They got off to a nightmare start, with Matt Doherty’s own goal giving the visitors the lead.

Wolves looked to have earned a point through Matheus Cunha, only for Jack Taylor to strike at the death and consign Gary O’Neil’s team to another defeat.

At the end of the match, there were some ugly scenes.

Wolves star Rayan Ait-Nouri needed to be held back by some of the club’s coaching staff after appearing to be enraged by comments made by a member of the Ipswich bench.

Other players were also seen aiming comments in the direction of a few supporters, while boos were heard around the ground and others demanded the board sell up.

O’Neil is a promising coach who did well at Wolves last season, having taken over from Julen Lopetegui shortly before the first game of the season.

But the writing appears to be on the wall after yet another disappointing day at the office.

Further fuelling talk that O’Neil could be set to lose his job was the sight of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in attendance.

The Norwegian hasn’t managed a team since being sacked by Manchester United back in November 2021 following a dire run of form.

Yet the sight of Solskjaer in the stands has sparked speculation that he could be about to replace O’Neil as manager of the Premier League side.

While it was a nightmare day for Wolves, it was another memorable one for Ipswich.

The Tractor Boys have long been seen as one of the favourites to go down this season, having been promoted in the summer.

But Ipswich have now boosted their chances of staying in the top flight after Taylor’s late winner.

Speaking after the game, he admitted he enjoyed his late winner and was ‘really happy’ to have secured victory for his side.
