Just a reminder that this game kicks off at 5.30pm and it is live on sky sports.
Ruddy gets a throw all the way out to Cav at midfield. Leadbitter takes his legs out. 50/50 whether it’s a yellow or red for me. I don’t think Boro could have complained if he had been given red.
We are going to have the ball the majority of this match. As long as we are solid on defending the counter and set pieces, we shouldn’t lose this game
Shotten lucky to have escaped a yellow on that challenge on Douglas. Going to be a physical game.
Goal Costa!!!!!!
His first shot was saved, fell to Cav who Boro fans thought brought it down with his arm (replay looked like the chest to me), he gets it to Douglass who puts a tear drop right back to Costa who volleys it home. Great team goal from Wolves
2-0 Cavaleiro header virtually on goal line.
And now it’s two! Wolves get a shot off the corner, save falls right on Cavaleiro’s head for an easy goal.
Would have never expected a 0-2 lead heading toward halftime. Keep the foot down Wolves!
I don’t we it’s been terrible. Like most Pulis teams, Boro are organized, getting 8 men behind the ball at almost all times. I’ve been surprised that they’ve looked vulnerable on set pieces though.
But our goals have come off saves, so a bit of luck for us that the saves fell to Wolves in good position.
Neves with another beautiful pass to Costa, who is unfortunate to get clipped by the Boro defender as he had a clear path to goal. Official deemed it incidental contact.
I can understand if the players were in a race to the ball, but Costa had his man beat. Rules should be adjusted on that.
Neves is given two yellows in seconds and is off for the rest of the match. Reckless on his part.
