Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Luton Town
Wolves prevailed against Luton Town at Molineux thanks to a 39th minute goal from Hwang Hee-Chan and an eventually decisive second from Toti five minutes into the second half. Carlton Morris did manage a riposte for the visitors with ten minutes left, yet a relatively dominant second-half display from the hosts was enough to snuff out any comeback from the Hatters. Wolves continue in the right direction towards the Premier League top ten with three games to go. However, Luton Town have it all to do if they're to survive as they continue 18th and a point behind Nottingham Forest. The first goal was well-worked by Hwang. Bettering his constant sparring partner in Teden Mengi, he jinked and jived in from the left to fire across Kaminski's goal. It may've been helped on it's way by Mengi, yet the Korean isn't likely to care with his 11th of the season, and his first goal in the Premier League since December 2023. Toti's goal came from a short corner routine on the right. Mario Lemina lofted over the received pass and found his Portuguese defender who nodded home strongly. While Luton were relatively uninspiring after this, they were boosted by the re-introduction of Elijah Adebayo and he helped cause chaos in the build-up to Luton's goal. Doughty put in a corner the big forward won, and at the second time of asking then floated a ball for Reece Burke to head for Morris to drive home on the volley. Wolves denied Luton in the final exchanges, and came good on an xG of 1.08 in comparison to the Hatters' 0.42. Now, Wolves look onwards to a trip to the Etihad next Saturday, while Luton are monitoring Forest's result at the same place tomorrow before they welcome Everton to Kenilworth Road on Friday. Thanks for joining us today, goodbye!

FULL-TIME: WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS 2-1 LUTON TOWN
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Luton Town
Into the last minute of the given stoppages. Berry fires the free-kick in and Luton can't get anything on it. It's then re-grouped and Berry fires on target! Sa however, is hardly tested. That's got to be the last kick of the game...
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Luton Town
Wolves are putting on a game management masterclass here, it feels. Time is running out for their visitors... but Chong has won a foul from Sarabia just outside the area on the left.

Kaminski and Lokonga pass it around the back. Edwards is rightfully raging! It needs to be up the other end guys!

It's getting slightly tetchy here as Luton look for any chance to get the ball back from Wolves. It's like a bully of an older brother shoving around the little guy. Onyedinma retalitates to the passing with an over exhuberant nudge.

There will be six minutes of additional time here at Molineux.

The visitors are pushing onwards down the wings. Onyedinma goes in on Gomes a tad too hard and Wolves can regroup with a Sa free-kick forward.
