    • - Thanks for joining us this afternoon!
    • - FT. And it is! It finishes 2-1 to Wolves, and it's their first home win of the season.
    • 90'+4 Wolves see off the immediate danger, but Fulham win a throw before Hennessey finally claims the ball inside his area. Surely that's time...
    • 90'+3 Free-kick for Fulham in the dying moments. They can put this in the danger zone...
    • 90'+2 They do defend it, and hoof the ball clear for one last attack, but it breaks down and Wolves come back at them...
    • 90'+1 Fulham now have a corner to defend.
    • 90' DUFF WITH A SHOT! But it's blocked by his own team-mate Zamora in the last moments of normal time! Zamora was offside as well.
    • 88' Offside against Fulham as they desperately seek a late leveller.
    • 87' Kightly comes on for Jarvis.
    • 85' They see it off though and Fulham are coming forward...
    • 84' But Wolves win a corner at the other end and Fulham will have to defend now.
    • 83' Wolves weathering a resurgent Fulham in these final few minutes...
    • 82' Ebanks-Blake spins but has a shot blocked as he takes Keogh's pass...
    • 79' Doyle's made way for Ebanks-Blake for Wolves.
    • 78' FULHAM GO VERY CLOSE! Wolves' offside trap fails at a free-kick and Zamora takes the ball all alone with his back to goal on the penalty spot. He lays it off to Kamara who tries to lift it over Hennessey, but the keeper does just enough to put him off and Elokobi then makes sure the ball goes out for a corner.
    • 77' Etuhu makes way for Kamara as Fulham go all out attack...
    • 75' Fulham are trying all avenues, as a long ball over the top just evades both Johnson and Zamora to make it through to Hennessey.
    • 73' Doyle has a shot blocked inside the area as Wolves look to restore their two-goal cushion.
    • 71' And Fulham follow suit as Greening replaces Konchesky.
    • 70' Maierhofer comes on for Edwards as Wolves make a change.
    • 68' Fulham know they've been handed a lifeline, and they're on the hunt for an equaliser now.
    • 66' GOAL FOR FULHAM! And they are! Danny Murphy slots the spot kick perfectly into the bottom-right corner to make it 2-1.
    • 65' PENALTY FOR FULHAM! Mancienne holds Zamora back inside the area and there's a chance here for the visitors to get back into the game...
    • 64' Duff drags a shot wide from an angle as he tries to spark some life into Fulham's attack. They're rallying now...
    • 62' Good save from Hennessey! He makes a good stop to his left to deny Etuhu's powerful drive after Duff has a shot blocked...
    • 60' Fulham are coming back at Wolves now though, and take the ball on down the right. Simon Davies replaces Clint Dempsey.
    • 58' Wolves are hungry for more goals, and they sense there are more to be had.
    • 55' WOLVES HIT THE BAR! Keogh curls a cross in from the left which Hughes flicks on towards his own goal. Schwarzer manages to tip it onto the bar, and Fulham escape conceding a third!
    • 54' Very close from Jarvis! He cuts in off the left and curls a shot just over the bar from the edge of the area...
    • 53' Hangeland almost stitches his team-mate Schwarzer up with a backpass, which Edwards hunts down. He almost catches the Fulham keeper out.
    • 52' Hard to see Fulham getting back into this game. They've looked poor, and haven't had a shot on goal yet.
    • 50' GOAL FOR WOLVES! Edwards slams the ball into the top-right corner from 12 yards, having started the move. Fulham gave the ball away in midfield, and Edwards toed it on for Keogh to chase down. He got inside Fulham's area, checked inside and squared for his team-mate to beat Schwarzer with a confident finish. Wolves lead 2-0.
    • 47' Johnson takes a boot to the head as he tries to stream into Wolves' area. He gets some treatment and is okay after a minute or two.
    • 46' The second half gets underway...
    • 45'+2 HT. And that's the break. A fairly tame first half, with not a great deal of goalmouth action to speak of.
    • 45' GOAL DISALLOWED FOR WOLVES. Keogh is flagged offside as he turns in a ball over the top first time. It was a great finish, but the flag was up quickly.
    • 43' Another long throw from Halford causes some discomfort for Fulham, but they manage to get the ball away.
    • 41' Johnson gets a cross in from the right but Hennessey commands his area well.
    • 40' Berra flattens Pantsil as he sends the ball into the stands with Fulham advancing down Wolves' left side.
    • 39' Jarvis does well to get a cross in from the left but it's too close to Schwarzer.
    • 37' Hennessey again has to be alert as he races out to gather a bouncing ball which Zamora is not far off getting to.
    • 36' Zamora's caught offside as he tries to latch onto a long ball over the top. Roy Hodgson looks quite concerned on the sidelines...
    • 34' Pantsil gets away with a poor clearance as he scuffs his hack away straight to an opponent. Wolves win another throw which Halford will again ping into the area, but Schwarzer manages to claim this one.
    • 32' Fulham win a corner but fail to make anything of it...
    • 30' Wolves put Fulham under pressure with a free-kick into the area. It's temporarily dealt with by the visitors, before they finally manage to fend off the danger with a proper clearance.
    • 27' Doyle's almost in at the other end but Hangeland prevents him from getting on the end of his own flick.
    • 26' Hennessey deals comfortably with a Fulham free-kick which is drifted in. Elokobi takes a knock on the ehad from his own keeper in the process.
    • 25' Castillo tries his luck from 30 yards with a dipping shot, but his accuracy is way off.
    • 23' Johnson wins a free-kick out of Berra and Duff floats the delivery in. It's dealt with easily by the Wolves defence though, and they bring the ball out...
    • 22' Fulham are being a bit more urgent in their attempts to play forward, but Wolves seem to be handling them well enough.
    • 20' Pantsil's in late on Jarvis and Wolves have a free-kick on the right side. Dangerous spot for a whipped delivery... But it's a poor one and doesn't get past the first Fulham man.
    • 18' GOAL FOR WOLVES! Doyle heads in from close range as Halford's long throw is flicked on by Berra! The hosts are in front, 1-0.
    • 16' Zamora and Berra tangle again as the ball comes in over the top. The Wolves man wins a free-kick out of his opponent.
    • 15' First corner of the game goes Wolves' way as Konchesky marshals the ball out with Doyle causing trouble. The hosts fail to make anything of the following delivery though.
    • 14' And the Wolves left-back tries a ball down the outside for Keogh moments later but overcooks it.
    • 13' Elokobi muscles Johnson out of it and plays a nice ball out of defence to Edwards wide on the right.
    • 11' That has to go down as a half decent chance for Wolves. Doyle gets a head on Elokobi's cross but directs it wide from the penalty spot.
    • 10' Some good pressing work from Edwards wins Wolves a throw deep in Fulham's half. Halford hauls a long throw into the area and it's cleared, but Wolves regain possession on halfway and can build...
    • 9' Zamora and Berra are having a real battle every time Fulham punt the ball forward.
    • 8' Hennessey has to be alert to rush out and gather Zamora's header on from a long ball, with Johnson ready to pounce.
    • 6' Etuhu brings the ball out of defence but misplaces a pass, allowing Wolves to attack. Pantsil has to defend a dangerous cross from the right.
    • 4' Fulham are just about edging the initial midfield encounters, and are shading possession in the opening minutes.
    • 2' Zamora wins a free-kick on halfway after being dumped. Fulham try and pass their way through but Wolves snuff it out. At the other end, Doyle drags a shot wide from 25 yards, it was of no danger to Schwarzer's goal.
