Wolves win Championship title with two games to spare after 4-0 win over Bolton

WOLVES have won the Championship with two games to spare.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side thrashed Bolton 4-0 to claim the second tier title for the fourth time in the club’s history.

The West Midlands club also won the Championship in 1931/32, 1976/77 and 2008/09.

Wolves have won 30 of their 44 matches in the second tier this season, with eight draws and six defeats.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s men only needed a point against Bolton to clinch the title, but they secured in sublime style at the Macron Stadium.

Barry Douglas opened the scoring after 16 minutes with a left-footed strike from the side of the box.

Benik Afobe, who has scored six goals in all competitions this term, doubled the tally on the brink of half time after an assist from Conor Coady.

Diego Jota bagged the third, before Coady made the score-sheet with a penalty.

BEST OF THE REST Ten lower league stars already good enough for the top-flight

The club posted a video to their Twitter page of the players celebrating in the dressing room after the game.

Players are filmed singing “we are the champions, my friend, and we’ll keep on fighting until the end.”

Wolves uploaded another picture of the team after the match, captioned: “Champs, ay we?”

But it’s a different story for struggling Sunderland, who have now been relegated to League One after just one season in the Championship.
