Dave Edwards now has three goals this season

Wolves picked up their fourth win out of the last five games as Dave Edwards' second-half strike proved enough to defeat Blackburn.

Edwards struck from the edge of the area after being set up by Nouha Dicko, before missing a chance to make it 2-0.

Dicko also hit the bar for Wolves, while Rovers went close when Richard Stearman directed the ball against his own post.

Victory moves Kenny Jackett's side to within a point of the play-off places.

Blackburn remain 10th and will be disappointed not to have made the most of their possession in the first half.

Ben Marshall headed a Jordan Rhodes cross wide and then forced a save out of Carl Ikeme from a free-kick.

Wolves improved after the break and Dicko's invention set up Edwards to score what proved to be the only goal of the game.

Rovers almost had a leveller when Stearman misjudged a clearance and headed against the frame of his own goal.

However, the visitors held on and could have won by a more handsome margin but Dicko's curling effort smashed back off the bar, while Danny Batth headed over a great opportunity.
