Wolves made a strong start to the game at the SEAH Stadium in Telford, as they dominated possession and looked threatening in attacking areas.
Chloe Williams came close with a shot that whistled past the post, before Mel Lawley capitalised on a defensive mistake to take aim, but goalkeeper Jacqueline Burns made a strong save.
Burnley began to pile on some pressure of their own and came close on a few occasions, most notably when Charley Docherty was inches away from meeting a free header from close range.
Wolves took the lead in the 36th minute with a well-worked goal.
Lawley, who was impressive every time she touched the ball, played a one-two with Amy Sims before whipping in a good cross for Amber Hughes to head home.
Just two minutes later, Wolves had a second.
Forward Mel Filis, who was a nuisance for Burnley defenders, picked the ball up on the edge of the box and was twisting and turning before taking aim and her shot took a huge deflection to wrong-foot the goalkeeper and nestle into the net.
On the stroke of half-time, Wolves were awarded a penalty when Yana Daniels followed up a Hughes shot that had been spilled by the goalkeeper and a Burnley defender brought her down.
Anna Morphet stepped up and confidently tucked the ball away to give Wolves a 3-0 lead at half-time.
In the early stages of the second half, Wolves goalkeeper Emily Orman had a heart-in-mouth moment when she handled the ball outside of her box.
The referee gave a free-kick to Burnley, but did not even book the Wolves shot-stopper.
Burnley should have scored when the ball fell to Naomi Hartley at the far post, but she somehow directed her shot wide.
Another big chance fell to Jessica Hennessy, who headed over from a corner for the visitors.
It became a scrappy game deep into the second 45 as Burnley desperately tried to get a foothold in the fixture and Wolves kept them at arm’s length.
Wolves had some late chances to score again but in the end they kept a clean sheet and settled for an impressive 3-0 win.
