Gomes finds Hwang running in behind with a lovely throughball. The South Korean is forced wide but holds it up for Bellegarde, who just overdoes it by offloading to Cunha. The hosts eventually win a corner on their left-hand side, however.

CHANCE! Ait-Nouri plays a pass inside to Cunha before flying forward for the return ball. He reaches the area before firing off a low shot, but Davies gets across to block it behind for a corner. That was much better from Wolves.
