And their victory all-but ensured Sean Dyche’s men will enjoy another season of Premier League football.

Wood’s first came on 15 minutes when he beat Conor Coady before drilling a powerful effort into Rui Patricio’s far corner.

He made it two six minutes later when a Wolves mix-up allowed Dwight McNeil to lay the ball into Woods’ path and he couldn’t miss from a few yards out.

The hat-trick was complete on half-time when he headed home McNeil’s corner.

Ashley Westwood would then add the icing on the cake when he made it four in the 85th minute.
