Wolves 2-1 Fulham: Analysispublished at 18:35 9 March

After 45 minutes, the only thing missing for Fulham was a goal.
They have been comfortably the better side in the first half at Molineux, limiting Wolves to just a solitary shot while creating a number of good chances themselves.
That they were not ahead given the quality of the chances Harry Wilson and Tosin Adarabioyo had will have frustrated Marco Silva but they had another 45 minutes find the breakthrough - and against a Wolves side shorn of their best player.
It is all of these things that will make Fulham's display in the first 20 minutes or so after the break even more disappointing for Silva, the fans and the players themselves.
The game was there for the taking but they gave their hosts encouragement and by the time they were able to regain their composure, they were 2-0 down.
Wolves upped their intensity after half-time but Fulham played into their hands with some sloppy build-up play.
"We have to be clinical and ruthless at this level, we weren’t and we were punished by those mistakes," Silva said.
Having missed the chance to make it three straight wins and leapfrog Wolves in the table, Fulham will look to bounce back next weekend at home to Tottenham.
