Goal!

van Hecke
ALBION ARE LEVEL! Minteh plays the ball short to De Cuyper from a corner - Wolves don't switch on quickly enough - the Belgian defender crosses it first time straight onto the head of van Hecke who powers home!
83'

MINTEH BLASTS OVER

Milner's cross into the middle evades everyone, but Minteh is waiting for it on the other side of the box. His drive goes a couple of yards over the crossbar.

Substitution

Diego Gomez is replaced by James Milner.
75'

LARSEN HITS THE POST

The striker gets passed van Hecke and gets into the box before looking to beat Verbruggen at his near-post, but the woodwork denies him.
70'
RoundArrow

Substitution

Stef Tzimas and Max De Cuyper replace Brajan Gruda and Mats Wieffer.
56'

SENSATIONAL JOHNSTONE SAVE

That's the closest Albion have come to a goal this afternoon and it's only a terrific save that denies them. Minteh crosses in from the left and Georginio meets it from seven yards, the Frenchman does everything right, but Johnstone somehow gets a big hand on it to tip around the post!
56'

HUGE CHANCE BLAZED OVER

Well that should put Wolves out of sight. Larsen holds the ball up before bringing the rest of his team into play as they catch up with him. It ends with the ball being pulled back for Arias, but he blazes over from about eight yards. Big, big let off.
51'
RoundArrow

Yellow Card

Georginio goes on a lovely little run at the Wolves defence before he's upended by Santiago Bueno about 25-yards from the Wolves goal. Bueno goes into the book.

Substitution

One change for Albion at half-time as Georginio replaces Carlos Baleba.

Half-Time

1-0 down at the break.
45'+2'
RoundArrow

Yellow Card

Welbeck goes into the book now for catching Hwang as the South Korean ran with the ball in front of the Wolves technical area. The contact is so minimal and Danny is outraged at the fact it's a card.
45'

TWO MINUTES ADDED TIME

Yellow Card

Mats goes into the book after Hwang cuts in from the Wolves left and runs into the Dutchman to win a free-kick halfway between the touchline and the edge of the area.
36'
RoundArrow

Yellow Card

Lewis Dunk catches Tchatchoua a moment too late as the midfielder runs through the middle. Yellow card for the skipper.
28'

GRUDA INCHES AWAY FROM AN EQUALISER

Tchatchoua plays it back to Johnstone but Gruda is on it like a flash and beats the keeper to the ball as he slides in, but it bounces off the Wolves stopper, off Gruda and behind for a goal-kick! Wolves go down the other end and Hwang smashes just over from 20 yards.
26'

GRUDA WINS A CORNER

Brajan looks for a way through the Wolves defence and tries to sneak in down the right before hitting a low effort at goal, but Hugo Bueno blocks it behind for a corner.
24'

KREJCI'S HEADER PALMED OVER

Bueno's cross from a Wolves free-kick finds the head of Krejci in the middle - the centre back gets a great header on it to send it towards goal, but Verbruggen is equal to it and tips it over.
22'
RoundArrow

Goal

Munetsi volleys Welbeck's clearing header at goal, Verbruggen pulls off a brilliant save to tip it onto the crossbar, but it bounces down and in off the keeper.
20'
RoundArrow

Yellow Card

Wolves have a spell of possession before the ball is played down the left for Hugo Bueno and he is taken out by Baleba. It's definitely a foul, but a yellow seems a little harsh.
14'

KADIOGLU PASSES IT TO JOHNSTONE

That's a great move that starts from the back for Albion. van Hecke plays it through the Wolves press for Kadioglu to run at the hosts' backline before passing it onto Minteh. The Gambian returns the ball to Ferdi just inside the box, but he can't get any power on his first-time shot and essentially passes it into the hands of Johnstone.
11'

HALF CHANCE FOR WIEFFER

Ayari sends in a corner, Wieffer is unmarked but opts to flick it with the outside of his boot rather than getting a cleaner connection and he misses the target. He immediately realises he could have done better with it.
7'

DUNK CLEARS HWANG'S CROSS

Hee Chan Hwang gets down the left as Wolves win possession in midfield. He crosses in low from the left, but Dunk gets a big clearing boot on it.
5'

ENTERTAINING OPENING

While there hasn't been any early chances, the game is being played at a decent pace, with both pressing relatively high. Albion have been aggressive chasing the ball when out of possession.

THE TEAMS ARE OUT

Lewis Dunk leads Albion out as we look to make it back-to-back wins for the first time in the Premier League this season. Wolves are winless in their opening six Premier League games, but go into this one on the back of an impressive draw at Spurs, where they probably deserve they feel they were worthy of all three points. Three minutes until we start.
