SAVE! Gomes steals possession to set Wolves on the break, before slipping a pass infield to Cunha. He offloads to Doyle to his right, and the midfielder lashes a powerful shot towards the far corner from 25 yards out, only to see Petrovic beat it away. Good stop!

CLOSE! Wolves almost get a second as Ait-Nouri finds Cunha with a clever backheel on the left side of the box. The Brazilian goes for the near post with his low effort, but it hits the side netting with Petrovic scrambling!

Gallagher may be fortunate to avoid a second yellow card! Mudryk plays a terrible pass back to his stand-in captain, who is beaten to it by Hwang and chops him down. The referee has a think, but a free-kick is the only punishment issued.
