Wolves vs Burnley: Head-to-head record and past meetings after five-goal Premier League thriller

Vitor Pereira's relegation-threatened Wolverhampton Wanderers were heartbroken on Sunday afternoon when Scott Parker's Burnley netted a last-gasp winner to snatch all three points in a dramatic 3-2 Premier League victory at Molineux.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two clubs.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 141

Wolverhampton Wanderers wins: 68

Draws: 31

Burnley wins: 42

The history between Wolves and Burnley dates back to 1888, that is 137 years of competition, in which Wolves have come out on top with 68 victories, accounting for a win percentage of 48%.

The Clarets walked away with triumph on 42 occasions (30%), with their largest-ever away win margin coming in 2021, when the visitors departed Molineux with a 4-0 trouncing under the guidance of Sean Dyche.

Both teams faced each other for five years in a row in the Premier League, until Burnley’s demotion to the Championship in 2024 saw the clubs parted.

Reunited in October 2025, Scott Parker's Clarets snatched all three points in a dramatic 3-2 top-flight victory over a then-winless Wolves at Molineux.

On that day, Burnley raced into a two-goal lead courtesy of a brace from Zian Flemming, with both efforts - the striker's first in the division - being assisted by fellow Dutchman Quilindschy Hartman.

However, Vitor Pereira's men clawed the game back to 2-2 by half time, and continued to apply pressure in the second half, striking the crossbar through Jhon Arias and forcing saves from Martin Dubravka.

Unfortunately for the 20th-placed Old Gold, Burnley's Lyle Foster was the one that eventually broke the deadlock, running onto a Hannibal Mejbri through ball before guiding home a last-gasp winner in stoppage time.

Wolves have only managed two wins across the last 11 head-to-heads; only one of them came in the Premier League, while Burnley registered four successes in that sequence.

However, Wolves fans will feel that they have the upper hand in the head-to-head record overall, especially with a 2-0 Sherpa Van Trophy final win in 1988, which some supporters may remember.
