WOLVERHAMPTON, England (Reuters) -Wolverhampton Wanderers beat Fulham 2-1 in the Premier League on Saturday thanks to a close-range strike from Rayan Ait-Nouri and a deflected own goal from a shot by fellow defender Nelson Semedo.

The result moved Wolves up to eighth in the league on 41 points, still with a chance of qualifying for European football next season, and kept intact their more than four-decade unbeaten streak at home to the Londoners.
