The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
– Wolves champions –
Promoted Wolves celebrated their ascent to the Premier League by clinching the Championship title with a 4-0 win at lowly Bolton.
Needing one point from their final three matches to be crowned champions, Wolves got the job done thanks to goals from Barry Douglas, Benik Afobe and Diogo Jota plus a Conor Coady penalty.
Wolves are two points shy of 100 for the season with games against Sheffield Wednesday and Sunderland still to come.
