    Wolves 2-0 Sheff Utd

    A lack of concentration from the visitors? You be the judge but George Baldock is called offside needlessly, which puts a stop to what could have been a promising Sheffield United attack.

    In the meantime, Helder Costa comes off for Wolves and is replaced by Leo Bonatini.

    Wow, what a let off for the hosts!

    Wolves fail to clear their lines properly through Ryan Bennett and Ricky Holmes is left completely unmarked 18 yards out but he slices wide of the mark. It's not his day, today.

    Almost for Wolves!

    Diogo Jota plays a lovely ball across goal towards Helder Costa who nods down towards the ground and it's cleared away. That was a rare break in play from the hosts this half.

    Just as I say that, Ricky Holmes is forced into a 35-yard drive that goes high and wide and almost ends up in the Asda behind Molineux's North Bank..

    John Fleck sends a left-footed free-kick towards John Ruddy who saves, but he cheaply gives away possession moments later.

    Ultimately it comes to nothing but the visitors haven't sat back ever since and have controlled much of the opening moments of this second half.

    Wolves 2-0 Sheff Utd

    Wolves win a free-kick on the verge of the 18-yard line after Helder Costa was fouled off the ball by Lee Evans.

    Barry Douglas lines up to take it from around 20 yards out but he fires it straight into the Sheffield United wall.

    Wolves 2-0 Sheff Utd

    That couldn't have gone any better for Wolves, who it's fair to say, have absolutely bossed that first half.

    Ruben Neves' fifth-minute stunner will go down as one of the all-time great Molineux goals and Diogo Jota's second on the half-hour mark won't be far behind.

    That being said, Chris Wilder's Blades haven't sat back. There's still plenty to play for in the second half.

    This is a big call. Wolves win the ball on the counter and it's three on two. Helder Costa is fouled as Diogo Jota attempts to play him through.

    Molineux, and Nuno, go nuts but the referee waves play on. Replays show it may have been a fair challenge, however.

    This is great stuff from Wolves, who've dominated this first half. Sheffield United win a free-kick which Wolves don't so much clear as they win back possession through some incredible control from Barry Douglas.

    Diogo Jota then breaks on the counter and runs most of the pitch to win a corner. Alfred N'Diaye then almost nods home but the visitors clear.

    Sensational stuff, this.

    Almost 3-0 to Wolves, there!

    The hosts whip in a corner and Willy Boly, who is rushing into the box like a freight train, catches all of the Sheffield United players unawares as he glances the ball over from close range.

    The return of Sheffield United. Don't rule them out yet, folks.

    James Wilson attempts a shot from the 18-yard line but it's blocked. The visitors pick it up once more and Lee Evans drills a low effort from outside the box, but John Ruddy does well to collect it.

    Diogo Jota

    I've seen a fair few Wolves matches in my time but I've seen nothing like the team that's just scored this goal.

    Diogo Jota, take a bow. He receives the ball after a sustained period of Wolves possession and almost all of the Sheffield United defenders are individually beaten.

    Eventually Jota plays a filthy one-two with Ivan Cavaleiro in the box and strikes low from close range to send Wolves 2-0 up. That's two sensational goals. One pearler, one technical masterpiece.

    Dangerous attack just now from the visitors. A through ball is played towards Leon Clarke, but a slight touch from James Wilson stops it from falling at his feet.

    Clarke could have found a way past that Wolves back line there. As it stands, it went out for a goal kick. Wolves living dangerously here.

    Conor Coady plays a backpass to John Ruddy, who is startled by the onrushing Leon Clarke.

    The Wolves keeper eventually gets the ball away and out for a Sheffield United throw-in. Jeers ring from the travelling support. That could have been bad for Wolves!

    Another chance for Wolves, this time from Helder Costa. He picks up the ball just outside the 18-yard line and tries his luck, but a heavy deflection wins the hosts a corner.

    Ivan Cavaleiro provides a curling delivery, but the Blades clear their lines.

    Incidentally, there's a tremendous atmosphere at Molineux this evening. And it's all down to this man..

    James Wilson attempts to cross into the box from the most acute of angles but it sails out after a Wolves deflection. The hosts win a goal kick, much to the annoyance of Sheffield United.

    Credit to the visitors, they have kept pressing, but nothing in the way of a clear chance yet.

    John Fleck tries his luck after a neat one-two with Lee Evans, but his effort from well outside the box sails wide of the mark and fails to trouble John Ruddy.

    The Blades have dominated the possession since the goal, but a resolute Wolves defence is keeping them from scoring thus far.
