Yellow Card for Ryan Bertrand (Southampton)
A late card for Bertrand.
A late corner
Bertrand's dangerous low cross is out behind for a last minute corner. Surely not?!
Prowsey goes close!
Ward-Prowse's free-kick looks set to nestle in the far corner but Patrício pulls off a stunning save!
Ward-Prowse magic?
Boufal wins a free-kick 25 yards from goal which could be the chance for Ward-Prowse to find a late winner...
Southampton substitution: Kevin Danso replaces Oriol Romeu
Saints' second change of the afternoon.

Ward-Prowse goes close
Redmond drives at the Wolves defence before passing wide to Højbjerg, but his cross can only be tamely stabbed at goal by Ward-Prowse on the stretch.
Yellow Card for Jesús Vallejo (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
Vallejo flies through the back of Ings and rightly goes into the referee's book.
Stay strong, lads 💪
The hosts are clearly buoyed after finding the equaliser, with Saints having to dig in at the back.
Last-ditch defending
Jota is found by Traoré in the box, but Bednarek and Yoshida both slide in to block the shot.
Jiménez levels
For the third time today the striker finds the back of the net. This time it stands.
GOAL
Raúl Jiménez (60’) | 1 – 1
Penalty to Wolves!
Doherty is felled by Højbjerg in the box and the hosts have a chance to level from the spot.
HE'S AT IT AGAIN!
Højbjerg's header forward is misjudged by Coady which allows our number nine to race into the box and confidently find the bottom corner. GET IN THERE!
GOOOAL!!!
Danny Ings (52’) | 0 – 1
A great chance for Ings!
Wolves sloppily present Ings with the ball on the edge of the box, but the striker's curling effort is a comfortable save for Patrício down to his left.
Back under way!
The second 45 is up and running,
HALF TIME: Wolves 0-0 Southampton
And breathe 😅
Side netting!
At the end of the first half Saints have a chance, but Bertrand's shot from the angle rifles into the side netting!
Into additional time...
We'll have five minutes added onto the end of this dramatic first half!
VAR Decision: Goal not awarded for Wolverhampton Wanderers [Raúl Jiménez] was cancelled
Saints benefit from VAR once again! After Cutrone's shot is saved, Jiménez taps in the rebound but a check confirms the striker was offside in the build-up.
Saints growing in confidence
The visitors are seeing more and more of the ball now, with Romeu and Ward-Prowse pulling the strings in midfield.
Saints probe again!
A bursting run from Redmond looks to lose momentum, but Romeu fires the ball into Bertrand who looks for Ings inside of him, with the striker's shot from 10 yards blocked.
Standing firm 💪
Saints' 3-5-2 formation is giving them a solid formation to work from here at Molineux.
Yellow Card for Raúl Jiménez (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
No goal and a yellow card for the Wolves man.
VAR Decision: Goal not awarded for Wolverhampton Wanderers [Raúl Jiménez] was confirmed
The Wolves striker thinks he's broken the deadlock by rounding Gunn and slotting home, but a VAR check reveals Jiménez handled the ball in the build-up and therefore the goal is denied, with the Mexican also going into the referee's book.
Højbjerg blazes over
Saints win possession high up the pitch, but after Ings fed in Højbjerg, the captain fired high and wide.
Wolves defend well
Ward-Prowse's low free-kick delivery from the right is hit first time by Ings, but Wolves twice get bodies in the way as Romeu's follow up is also stopped in its tracks.
The big lads up from the back
Ings wins a free-kick off of Boly out on the right, giving Yoshida, Bednarek and Vestergaard the chance to get forward.
Like a game of chess ⏳
Both sides are doing a good job of cancelling each other out at the moment, with chances at a premium.
Wolverhampton Wanderers substitution: Jesús Vallejo replaces Ryan Bennett
An early change for Wolves with Bennett unable to continue due to an injury,

Great movement from Ings 👏
The striker's clever run in spotted, but from an acute angle his driven effort is collected by Patrício.
Easy for Gunn
Cutrone goes for the spectacular with a hanging cross, but under pressure from Bednarek his bicycle kick is a simple catch for Gunn.
Yellow Card for Yan Valery (Southampton)
The Saints defender goes through the back of Jonny on the halfway line and goes into the book.
Moutinho fires over
The first shot of the game comes in from Wolves' number 28. Cutrone lays the ball off to the Portuguese who fires a 20 yard strike a few yards over the bar.
Ings stretches his legs...
The first attack of the afternoon from Saints, as Redmond sets Ings free down the left. After getting past Coady, his cross can't quite be collected by Ward-Prowse who'd burst into the box.
