Diogo Jota scored a hat-trick for the second consecutive Europa League game and Ruben Neves produced a characteristically brilliant volley as Wolves took total control of their last-32 tie by thrashing Espanyol at Molineux.
Jota opened the scoring in the first half when he poked in from close range.
Neves made it 2-0 in the second period with a stunning long-range strike, controlling a clearance on his chest before delivering a brilliant finish from 20 yards before the ball had bounced.
Jota drove in a third after running onto Matt Doherty’s pass before completing his hat-trick with a strike from the edge of the box. He was replaced soon after to a standing ovation from the home crowd.
Wolves will look to complete the job when they travel to Barcelona for the return leg next Thursday.
