Wolves have climbed further clear of the relegation zone as Vitor Pereira's side clinched a challenging 1-2 victory over bottom-ranked Southampton on Saturday evening.

The Portuguese's men earned three crucial points amid a tough period since Boxing Day, as Wolves had only three wins out of their eleven clashes.

Meanwhile, Southampton are on their way to becoming the record-worst side in Premier League history, with only nine points in the table after 29 games - with the record held by Derby County with 11 in 2007-08.
