Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-1 Norwich City. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Teemu Pukki put the first mark on the match 37', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Wolverhampton Wanderers led Shots on target 4-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Wolverhampton Wanderers also shaded Possession 64%-36%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Wolverhampton Wanderers the favourite at 64.9% implied probability. That market lean missed.
