    Wolves 2-0 Derby

    I've been covering football matches for almost 30 years now . . . And I've not seen a better goal than that from Ruben Neves!

    Instant control of a Derby clearance, followed by an unbelievable right foot volley of imperious quality from fully 30 yards which dipped just under the helpless Scott Carson's bar.

    It even had hardened hacks in the press box applauding . . . And Molineux is still murmuring with content!

    Every time Ruben Neves gets the ball "SHOOT" echoes around Molineux. Even when he's behind the halfway line.

    Wolves 2-0 Derby

    Molineux's not calmed down after that beast of a strike from Ruben Neves. Derby look in shock but they're pressing on.

    They win a free-kick that floats into the Wolves box, but the hosts do well to clear it away.

    GOAL: Wolves 2-0 Derbypublished at 51 mins

    Ruben Neves

    Wow. You will not see a better goal than that. Ever.

    Ruben Neves flicks the ball up 30 yards from goal and sends a dipping volley into the top corner.

    Scott Carson had no chance. Forget world class. This was a goal from another universe.

    Wolves 1-0 Derby

    Wolves, who are a man down with Romain Saiss receiving treatment, break on the counter and leg it towards the Derby County box, but the host side just can't position themselves to find a shot on goal.

    Anticipation is in the air among the Wolves fans.

    Wolves 1-0 Derby

    Wolves have a man down and it's Romain Saiss, who looks like he's in a fair bit of pain.

    As he's being treated, Derby win a corner which is easily cleared by the home side.

    This is sure to be an interesting opening 10 minutes or so to this second half.

    Wolves will want to put the game to bed with an early goal while Derby will fancy netting early on to claw something out of this one.

    The players re-emerge from the tunnel at Molineux, again to Insomnia by Faithless.

    Someone get the glowsticks, there's a rave in Wolverhampton.

    HT: Wolves 1-0 Derby

    As we have a half-time break, a reminder that as it stands, Wolves need two points to mathematically seal promotion back to the top flight after a six-year absence.

    Their next game? Against Birmingham City on Sunday and at Molineux.

    There's still another 45 minutes left to go tonight, though!

  11. Oldham equalise in League Onepublished at 20:36 British Summer Time 11 April 2018

    Oldham 1-1 Walsall

    Huge goal for Oldham!

    Duckens Nazon - who is on loan from Wolves - beats a couple of men and slams the ball into the bottom corner.

    The half-time whistle has just blown there.

    Wolves are a tiny bit closer to a Premier League return and that's just about as dominant as a first half as you can get.

    Diogo Jota's tremendous goal, set up by Willy Boly's pinpoint lofted pass, puts them on top at the break.

    Wolves 1-0 Derby

    Alex Pearce loses the ball in comedy fashion as he looks to retrieve a loose high ball and ends up kicking it almost into his own face.

    Then, to add insult to injury, Diogo Jota turns to win the ball back with a lovely piece of skill.

    Wolves 1-0 Derby

    Derby win a free-kick just outside the box but Tom Lawrence, who's scored in the Rams' last two games, fires it straight into the wall and Wolves regain possession.

    Cheers from the home crowd follow. If it stays like this, they are just two points away from a return to the Premier League.

  15. Walsall take lead at Oldhampublished at 20:25 British Summer Time 11 April 2018

    Oldham 0-1 Walsall

    In the evening's other EFL match, Walsall have just gone ahead at Oldham through Jack Fitzwater.

    A win for the Saddlers could all but secure their League One safety.

    Oldham would remain deep in the relegation mire with defeat.

    Another Wolves free-kick flies into the box and this time Benik Afobe meets it with a header that across goal and narrowly out wide.

    With the start of a new cricket season just two days away, it's a reminder of just pleasant it can often be watching football matches on warm mid-April evenings.

    Regrettably, tonight at Molineux is not one of them. Its's cold, wet, dank and misty, especially so after the pre-match fireworks.

    But that is not stopping the buoyant South Bank in their torrent of songs, especially after the impudent sixth-minute finish from Diogo Jota which has edged Wolves even closer to a return to the Premier League. Hopefully, it will put a smile on Nuno's face later!

    His face may not say it, but this man will be feeling pretty content right about now.

    Nuno Espirito Santo's side have absolutely bossed this first half.

    And Ruben Neves fires a tremendous free-kick with a lot of force. Derby keeper Scott Carson just about tips it over the bar.

    The action is at the other end now and Diogo Jota is cynically brought down by Andreas Weimann.

    Wolves have a free-kick and this is Ruben Neves territory..
