Saul Niguez scored for the Mattress Makers in the 56th minute as the Spanish club will play in the Europa League's knockout rounds.
At Rome:
Diego Perotti scored the only goal of the match in the 53rd minute as AS Roma locked up top spot in Group C with their 1-0 home win over Qarabag as the Azerbaijani club's European adventure ended. Here are the happy Wolves celebrating their group-clinching victory.
