Southampton lose the ball in the middle and Wolves counter.

Raul Jimenez appears to have been taken down in the box and there are shouts for a penalty, but the referee awards a free-kick. Jimenez argues the ball came off the defender's foot but it's not going his way.

Again.

An early chance for Danny Ings after Jesus Vallejo gave the ball away cheaply on the edge of the box. Ings picks it up and goes to curl it into the bottom corner but it's an easy take for Rui Patricio.

Second half under way.

A half-time change for Wolves. Matt Doherty comes on for Ruben Neves, who was injured in the first half.

Pretty even at Molineux so far.

Chances for both sides but apart from the disallowed goals, little to threaten.

There's the whistle.

Three yellow cards + two disallowed goals = an interesting first half.

With the first half still ongoing, Nathan Redmond goes close for Southampton, firing a half volley into the side netting.

The whistle surely on its way?

The free-kick comes to nothing but the volume has certainly gone up a few notches since that goal was ruled out.

Half-time is needed to cool things down a touch.

Tempers are starting to fray at Molineux.

Conor Coady goes into the book as he brings down Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

Southampton get a free-kick in a promising position.

Wolves 0-0 Southampton

Patrick Cutrone has been ruled offside as he received the ball in the box from Leander Dendoncker. Not by much, it has to be said.

VAR 2-0 Wolves...

Hold up. VAR isn't happy...

Nathan Redmond picks the ball up and ambles towards the box. He's looking to take a shot himself but he can't find the gap.

He does find Ryan Bertrand who then feeds in Danny Ings but he can't make it count. Shouts of handball from the crowd towards Ings but it's a goal kick.

Ruben Neves is back on the pitch.

Ruben Neves has been caught by Danny Ings in the middle of the park as he tried to peel away, right down the back of the ankle. From experience, I can confirm those ones hurt.

A bit of treatment required for Neves before he clambers back onto his feet. He'll go off for a couple of minutes for a bit more treatment so Wolves temporarily down to 10 men.

The ball that fed in Jimenez for that disallowed goal?

It came off the boot of Willy Boly from pretty much inside Wolves' box.

At the other end, Raul Jimenez finds himself clear in front of goal, he chests the ball past Angus Gunn and finishes into an empty net.

But was that handball from the Wolves man? VAR says yes.

Maybe a bit harsh, but Jimenez goes into the book.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg punches the air in frustration as he scuppers a decent chance to put Southampton ahead.

Danny Ings receives the ball just inside the area, feeds it through to his captain but Hojbjerg sends it flying into row z.

Should have done better...

Patrick Cutrone is caught by Jan Bednarek on the wing and Wolves earn a free-kick wide out on the left.

Joao Moutinho hovers over this one, he floats the ball in but it's headed away on the edge of the box.

Ward-Prowse sends it in and there's a bit of pinball in the box as someone, ANYONE, tries to get a solid touch of the ball.

Comes to nothing as Wolves clear their lines.
