Aston Villa boss Smith on Wolves collapse: At 2-0 up with 10 minutes to go... | OneFootball

Aston Villa boss Dean Smith felt they let themselves down in defeat to Wolves.

Ruben Neves' deflected free-kick capped a remarkable comeback for Wolves as they recovered from 2-0 down with 10 minutes left to win 3-2 on Saturday.

Romain Saiss and Conor Coady cancelled out goals from Danny Ings and John McGinn before Neves' injury-time effort hit Matt Targett to win it.

“At 2-0 up with 10 minutes to go you obviously question the game management and what we have done to enable them to win so many set pieces," said Smith.

“My meeting before the game was to ask them for a performance because our standards dropped against Tottenham, I don't think our standards dropped against Wolves, the performance was good.

“Unfortunately, we didn't defend our box well enough from set pieces and we ended up losing a game we should never have lost.

“They had three set pieces, two from corners and we have actually won the first contact but after the second phase we went to sleep a little bit. Whether that was a lack of concentration or not I don't know."
