Raul Jimenez has scored six goals in as many Europa League qualifiers this season

Wolves booked their place in the Europa League group stage after beating Torino in front of a jubilant Molineux.

The Black Country side are in the main stage of a European competition for the first time since 1980 after coming through three rounds of qualifiers.

Raul Jimenez opened the scoring as he hooked home Adama Traore’s cross.

Andrea Belotti gave Torino brief hope with a header to make it 4-3 on aggregate, but seconds later Leander Dendoncker put the game out of reach.

That goal meant Torino – who lost last week’s home leg 3-2 – needed to score twice to force extra time, and, despite some late chances, a comeback never seemed likely.

Wolves will discover their group opponents during Friday’s draw at 12:00 BST in Monaco. Manchester United, Arsenal, Celtic and Rangers are also in the draw. None of the English sides can be drawn against each other and neither can Scotland’s two.
