Aston Villa earned a deserved 2-1 win over a youthful Wolves side at Villa Park to take their place in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.
Anwar El Ghazi's goal gave Villa the lead before the break and though Patrick Cutrone came up with a second-half equaliser, Ahmed Elmohamady won the tie for the home side.
Wolves took more than 5,000 supporters to Villa Park but Nuno Espirito Santo made his intentions clear by changing his entire XI from the team that drew at Newcastle on Sunday.
None of the outfield players from that starting line-up were even in the squad and Wolves paid the price as their eight-game unbeaten run in all competitions came to an end.
Villa dominated from the outset with Trezeguet having a shot well blocked by Max Kilman in the early stages and Conor Hourihane seeing his free kick hit the wall.
But there was no denying El Ghazi when Henri Lansbury cleverly slid him through on goal in the 28th minute and though goalkeeper John Ruddy got a touch to the ball it crept over the line.
Villa looked comfortable but 10 minutes into the second half, Taylor Perry won possession and his subsequent shot was diverted beyond Jed Steer by the outstretched leg of Cutrone.
The parity did not last long because Villa were soon back in front when Lansbury's low free kick from the right was turned into the net at the near post by Elmohamady.
There was no comeback for Wolves this time as Dean Smith's side secured Villa's progress to the last eight of this competition for the first time in nine years.
What's next?
Aston Villa host Liverpool back in the Premier League on Saturday at 3pm, while Wolves travel to face Arsenal at the same time at the Emirates Stadium.
