Gérard Houllier's first Premier League game after a six-year hiatus ended in victory as Aston Villa beat local rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 at Molineux.
Stewart Downing had put Villa ahead in the 25th minute with a close-range volley before Wolves grabbed a deserved equaliser just after the hour mark when Matt Jarvis' left-wing center crept inside the far post.
The match looked set to be heading for a third consecutive stalemate between the Midland rivals until Emile Heskey powered home a textbook header in the 88th minute.
