    Until the next time!

    GOAL - Wolves 2-0 Bournemouthpublished at 90 mins +4

    Ivan Cavaleiro

    The substitute seals it. Bournemouth launch it long again, and in a handful of passes Ivan Cavaleiro is set free by a Helder Costa pass. Just the keeper to beat, he finishes coolly. No drama.

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Jefferson Lerma launches long. Willy Boly fields. The home side can break here. Helder Costa is fouled in the Bournemouth half by Lerma.

    There'll be little hurry.

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Steve Cook long throw. The rain is still landing hard. A snatched at Wolves clearance lands at Diego Rico.

    We are into FOUR minutes added on.

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 89 mins

    Raul Jimenez - he looks to be the matchwinner.

    Off he comes, to be replaced for what little is left by Ivan Cavaleiro up top.

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth, by contrast, are starting to look a little spent. Jefferson Lerma almost hands possession away in front of his own goal.

    Eddie Howe continues to shout encouragement from the sidelines.

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Wolves are pressing hard now - and higher up the pitch. New waves of energy to protect this lead. There's not long to go. Romain Saiss looks full of beans.

  12. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 81 mins

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Lys Mousset is on for Junior Stanislas.

    Looking at a replay of that cleared corner just now, Steve Cook had a massive hold on Willy Boly's shirt. Another day and that could have been a penalty.

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Jefferson Lerma heads out of play for a corner from the edge of his own box. That went high.

    Joao Moutinho strolls over to take it. Brilliantly defended by Nathan Ake under pressure from Willy Boly.

    Bournemouth are running out of time...

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    The only two attempts Bournemouth have managed on target have come from two speculative Jefferson Lerma efforts from range.

    Although of course Junior Stansilas did strike the bar from a free-kick too.

    Callum Wilson turns on the edge and sees a stinging shot deflected away by Willy Boly's big boot.

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 66 mins

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Helder Costa picks up a yellow for a late challenge in the middle. Is this game finally swinging in Bournemouth's favour?

    They have for long periods been on top - in terms of possession and territory - but so far the equaliser has eluded them.

  18. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 63 mins

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Junior Stanislas pings the free-kick onto the crossbar and out!

    Rui Patricio was beaten. Jefferson Lerma follows up with a long-range effort that soars towards the top corner but is safely plucked out of the air by the Wolves keeper.

  19. Postpublished at 61 mins

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Steve Cook brought down on the edge of the box by Willy Boly. A rugged challenge.

    It's to the right of the Wolves goal.

    Conor Coady is just getting treatment for a cut face he sustained in trying to clear the ball.

  20. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 59 mins

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Callum Wilson is on for Bournemouth. The top scorer replaces Jordon Ibe.

    Can he get the goal the Cherries have been searching for?
