Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Molineux Stadium!
  • 5' A quiet spell here at Molineux Stadium. Southampton FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 10' The 34-year-old Stuart Armstrong has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 15' The home supporters are growing impatient. Wolverhampton Wanderers FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 25' Southampton FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 30' Wolverhampton Wanderers FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Southampton FC backline.
  • 35' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Wolverhampton Wanderers FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 37' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Raul Jimenez makes no mistake. 1-0!
  • 42' Oriol Romeu has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 43' Wolverhampton Wanderers FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 43.
  • 46' Another change for Southampton FC made on 46 minute. Ibrahima Diallo leaves to be changed by Che Adams.
  • 51' Over 51 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 56' It looks surprising Wolverhampton Wanderers FC does not make any changes. Nelson Semedo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 58' It’s a booking for Southampton FC player. Lyanco gets a Yellow card.
  • 59' The deadlock is broken! Conor Coady gets on the scoresheet on 59 minutes.
  • 62' Raul Jimenez is having his name booked by the referee on 62.
  • 67' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Lyanco suffering a number of foals already.
  • 71' The crowd applauds Nathan Tella as he leaves the pitch. Stuart Armstrong steps in for Southampton FC.
  • 76' Jan Bednarek has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
  • 78' The Wolverhampton Wanderers FC manager makes a substitution. Trincao departs to be replaced by Adama Traore.
  • 80' The Wolverhampton Wanderers FC bench stirs into life. Raul Jimenez is withdrawn and Fabio Silva gets his opportunity.
  • 84' Magnificent from James Ward-Prowse! That is 55 goals in 348 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 86' James Ward-Prowse is having his name booked by the referee on 86.
  • 87' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Mohammed Salisu on 87 minutes.
  • 90' The whistle greets Daniel Podence as he departs to be replaced by Luke Cundle.
  • The points are shared — Wolverhampton Wanderers FC 3-1 Southampton FC. Honours even.
