It appeared that a Burnley player handled the ball inside the area, but the referee allowed play to continue. A minute later, play was stopped. Referee Andrew Kitchen received a communication and will review the potential penalty for Wolves using VAR.

Historically, the end of the season has been difficult for Burnley, who have lost their final match in each of their last seven Premier League campaigns. Interestingly, the only longer and worse negative run of this kind in the top flight of English football belongs to Wolves, who suffered eight consecutive final-day defeats between 2011 and 2024.

This match has a very particular and unusual significance, as it represents only the second time in Premier League history that two relegated teams have faced each other on the final matchday of the season. The only previous instance of this occurred in the 2000-01 season, in a match between Coventry City and Bradford City that ended in a goalless draw.

Visiting Burnley's stadium has become a real headache for Wolves, who have gone five consecutive matches without a win away from home there, accumulating two draws and three defeats. To find the last time the West Midlands side managed to take all three points from this stadium, you have to go back to March 2010, when they won 2-1.
