00:02A tense night at Molyneux ended with more than just a surprise result.
00:06It sparked an awkward post-match moment that quickly became the talking point.
00:15Bottom club, Wolverhampton Wunderers, secured a shock 2-0 victory over Aston Villa,
00:19but attention soon shifted to what happened after the final whistle.
00:24Villa manager Unai Emre left the dugout early and headed straight down the tunnel,
00:28appearing to bypass the customary handshake with Wolves boss Rob Edwards.
00:34On the pitch, Wolves delivered one of their most important performances of the season.
00:40Charles Gomez broke the deadlock just after the hour mark before Rodrigo Gomez sealed the win
00:45deep into stoppage time, capping a result few had predicted.
00:49Edwards, however, was keen to keep the situation light when asked about the handshake moment.
00:54Speaking afterwards, he joked that managers had disappeared after Wolves' other wins this season too.
01:01Emre's own response was brief and characteristically blunt when questioned about it later.
01:06The match, he said, was simply finished.
01:09For Villa, the focus quickly shifts to a crucial test against Chelsea,
01:13a game that could shape their push among the league's top contenders.
01:17After a night of frustration and headlines off the pitch,
01:21Emre will be hoping his side provide the response where it matters most and can relight their season.
