Keane Lewis-Potter scored twice in the second half to earn Brentford a 2-0 win over a Wolves side still waiting for their first victory of the campaign.
There was only one shot on target in a lacklustre first half, the recalled Jose Sa saving well to deny Lewis-Potter. But it was Brentford who played with greater purpose from the start of the second, Kevin Schade twice seeing shots saved by Sa.
The Wolves goalkeeper could do nothing, however, when Ladislav Krejci misjudged a hopeful ball forward by Vitaly Janelt to allow Lewis-Potter the freedom of the box to fire home. He latched onto another ball into the box to volley in his second with his left foot.
Wolves players were subjected to chants of ‘You’re not fit to wear the shirt’ and even a late penalty awarded when Caoimhin Kelleher tripped Matt Doherty could not bring any Christmas joy. Jorgen Strand Larsen’s tame effort was saved by Kelleher to more jeers.
Rob Edwards has now lost all six of his matches since arriving with Wolves themselves on a 10-game losing streak in the Premier League. They are adrift at the bottom with two points from 17 games. The victory lifts Keith Andrews’ Brentford side up to 12th spot.
