    Leeds 0-2 Wolves

    Bosh!

    Diogo Jota, always threatening, always dangerous, cuts in onto his right foot and unleashes an absolute rocket against the underside of Bailey Peacock-Farrell's crossbar.

    So close to finishing this once and for all.

    But all it takes is one goal to change this game completely!

    Another cross from the Leeds left causes a few concerns, with Danny Batth making a mess of his clearance but John Ruddy getting down well to smother the ball.

    It's not to be this time, however, as Barry Douglas' set-piece delivery is not up to his usual high standard.

    Leeds did manage to overhaul a 2-0 half-time deficit at home to Bristol City a couple of weeks ago and I suspect that will have been mentioned in Paul Heckingbottom's team talk at the break.

    On the other hand, I'm not sure the Robins were ever as dominant in that match as Wolves are here.

    The league leaders have another corner, from which they've scored twice already tonight...

    Leeds 0-2 Wolves

    Leeds full-back Gaetano Berardi scored his first career goal against Newport in the FA Cup a few weeks ago and clearly fancies another here, sending a booming right-foot drive over the bar from distance. John Ruddy always had it covered, really.

    This is better from Leeds, at least...

    This is where Wolves are so dangerous though, breaking at pace.

    In the end the ball falls to Barry Douglas, whose fierce shot is blocked away at the near post.

    Leo Bonatini has another free header from the resultant corner, too, but can't get it on target.

    This is a bit more encouraging for Leeds now, however, getting a couple of crosses into the box from the right.

    Striker Pierre-Michel Lasogga - someone I've not mentioned yet tonight - feels he was fouled by Danny Batth, but the referee's not interested. There didn't look huge amounts in it.

    If Leeds were hoping to come out and get straight on the front foot, there's been absolutely no sign of that so far.

    Wolves have had all of the ball and all of the play since the break - and they're doing it with a bit of a swagger, too.

    Reading winger Garath McCleary has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a broken ankle.

    Omar Richards has also suffered a calf injury to deepen manager Jaap Stam's injury woes with 11 games remaining.

    "We've had a lot of injuries where you're thinking 'how is that possible?' but for whatever reason it happens and we have to deal with it," said Stam.

    Norwich head coach Daniel Farke has revealed that striker Nelson Oliviera was dropped for Tuesday's game with Nottingham Forest because of his attitude in training.

    The Portugal international, 26, has scored just once since December and was left out of the squad for the 0-0 draw.

    "I will always support and back him but I have to have the feeling that he gives everything for the team and is hungry to run and work in training," said Farke.

    At the opposite end of the Championship table, Chris Coleman has been talking about Sunderland's prospects of remaining in the second tier.

    "Nobody has taken it by the scruff of the neck," the Black Cats boss told BBC Newcastle.

    "The only saving grace is that everybody else keeps losing. The teams around us are giving us a chance."

    Rivals struggles keep Sunderland afloat

    Bottom side Sunderland's Championship survival hopes remain intact as rivals also struggle, says boss Chris Coleman.

    This morning, Wolves published their accounts for their first season under Chinese conglomerate Fosun International's ownership - recording a pre-tax loss of more than £23m

    In comparison, Wolves' yearly accounts on Companies House show they made a profit of more than £7.5m in 2015-16.

    The Championship leaders say they "significantly invested" in players in the 12 months up to 31 May 2017, twice paying club-record transfer fees.

    The club also changed managers three times during that period.

    As things stand, Wolves are heading six points clear of second-placed Cardiff and 10 clear of Aston Villa in third.

    But can Leeds mount a second-half comeback? I'll leave you to ponder that question as we run through some of today's Championship headlines...

    Romain Saiss and Willy Boly have Wolves deservedly in front at the break.

    GOAL: Leeds 0-2 Wolvespublished at 45 mins

    Willy Boly

    Another Wolves corner, another goal!

    Barry Douglas' far-post delivery is headed onto the crossbar by Danny Batth, but Willy Boly is first to react to force the ball home from close range.

    For all of their dominance in open play, it's two set-pieces that have done the trick for the visitors.

    Just having another look at that Leo Bonatini chance, I thought he might've tried to round the goalkeeper rather than dink it over him. Either way, he should've doubled Wolves' lead.

    The Brazilian hasn't scored in 14 matches for the Championship leaders and it probably showed there.

    Leeds 0-1 Wolves

    Two really good Wolves chances in quick succession!

    First Diogo Jota, having dispossessed Matthew Pennington, over-complicates a really good opportunity to get a shot in at goal and eventually sees his cross blocked away.

    And then Leo Bonatini is sent one-on-one with Bailey Peacock-Farrell, who stands his ground and parries the Wolves striker's effort away.
