  1. CHANCE!published at 58 mins

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Helder Costa smashes rashly wide of the goal in a fantastic chance for a Wolves second.

    Bournemouth have been dominating the ball once more but this counter from the home side really should have been finished off. He lost his head there, Costa. Only the keeper to beat.

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Diego Rico plays the ball straight to Raul Jimenez but the burly Mexican striker can't direct his powerful effort on goal.

    Ryan Fraser spreads play left as Bournemouth counter. Rico drives in a low cross which is only just cleared.

    Fantastic sliding interception from Jefferson Lerma to keep the pressure on the home side.

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Andrew Surman shoots low and hard wide of the Wolves goal, the ball zipping along on the sodden turf. There has been no let-up from the elements.

  4. Postpublished at 53 mins

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Ruben Neves pings a drive towards goal in the hammering rain. It hits a Bournemouth body and goes out for a corner.

    Joao Moutinho delivers, Asmir Begovic doesn't connect with his punch properly but the referee blows up for a foul in the area in any case.

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Joshua King plays across the box to the edge looking for Andrew Surman but Ryan Fraser intercepts and takes control. Back to King, who smashes a shot to Wolves ankles in the box.

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    A sloppy pass from Helder Costa plays Ruben Neves into trouble, and the midfielder is penalised for a sliding challenge on Joshua King.

    Free-kick Bournemouth. Central, just out of Charlie Daniels range I would say.

    It's chipped towards the back stick where Steve Cook just about keeps it in play.

  7. KICK-OFFpublished at 46 mins

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Helder Costa has replaced the injured Diogo Jota at the break.

    The home side get us back under way. Whatever it is falling from the sky - sleet or driving, frozen rain - there is more of it now.

  8. HALF-TIMEpublished at 45 mins +3

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    No time for Helder Costa to come on - Wolves will make the change at the break.

  9. Postpublished at 45 mins+2

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Composure 20 from Willy Boly as he shapes to launch a clearance and swerves his man with a feint.

    Diogo Jota is going to be replaced. He was holding the back of his thigh. It'll be Helder Costa to come on.

    Jefferson Lerma drives on goal from about 35 yards out, straight at the keeper and tame.

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Diogo Jota is still down. He's had a bit of treatment and is now limping off the park.

    Three minutes added on.

  11. CHANCE!published at 44 mins

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Great ball from Raul Jimenez. Diogo Jota sprints onto it towards goal. Steve Cook is there for company. They come together as Jota is just running clear and Cook uses his frame to bounce the winger off the ball.

    Cook is on a yellow. Any foul surely would have been a red card. The referee deems it fair play - a shoulder barge in his eyes presumably.

  12. Postpublished at 41 mins

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Joao Moutinho stands over another Wolves free-kick. Wide right this time.

    In it comes... Andrew Surman nods clear at the near post. A poor delivery.

    On the break, Ryan Fraser races into the box and cuts back just behind Joshua King.

  13. YELLOW CARDpublished at 40 mins

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Well played Diogo Jota. He robs Jordon Ibe and races away, bringing his whole team up the park as Jefferson Lerma is forced to drag him back and give away a free-kick. Yellow card too.

  14. Postpublished at 39 mins

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Rui Patricio sends a sliced clearance into orbit. Joshua King brings it back down to earth and wins a throw.

    It's a long one from Steve Cook. Diego Rico fancies himself to hit this bouncing clearance on the edge of the box but the result is not pretty.

  15. Postpublished at 37 mins

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Short from Joao Moutinho to Morgan Gibbs-White. His inswinger is thumped away by Junior Stanislas - panic stations after an initial hack could have gone anywhere in the box.

  16. Postpublished at 36 mins

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Ruben Neves swings in the free-kick, Joshua King rises in front of Willy Boly to head behind for a corner...

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 35 mins

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Yep, here comes Diego Rico to replace the injured Tyrone Mings. Looks like a back problem.

  18. YELLOW CARDpublished at 34 mins

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Steve Cook picks up a yellow card for his late challenge on Diogo Jota on the Wolves left wing.

    A chance to deliver from a dangerous position. Tyrone Mings is really struggling now. He had carried on but surely is going to have to be replaced.

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Tyrone Mings is up again - he rose to his feet pretty gingerly however.

    Andrew Surman plays two passes out of play in quick succession.

    Mings has gone down again. Eddie Howe is making notes. Mings is getting treatment.

  20. CHANCE!published at 30 mins

    Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Raul Jimenez gets two bites at a shot on the edge of the box, neither goes right, the second is lifted over the bar. Way over the bar.

    Tyrone Mings is down and struggling - there was a collision with Morgan Gibbs-White.
