Wolves Maintain Perfection To Go Top

Wolves made it two wins from two on their return home to the Molineux thanks to goals from Kevin Doyle and Matt Jarvis, as Wanderers coasted past a flat footed Fulham.

Wolves took the lead in a first half that initially was dominated by silly mistakes and wasteful passing from both sides.

Kevin Doyle scored first for the home side just before the break. Latching onto a loose ball seven yards out after John Arne Riise and Pajtim Kasami failed to clear Matt Jarvis' low cross, the Irish man lashed the ball into the roof of Mark Schwarzer's net two minutes from the break.

The Midlanders doubled their lead just moments later. Stephen Hunt's curling cross was flicked past a flailing Schwarzer by Roger Johnson but the Wolves captain was denied by the post, leaving Jarvis to fire the rebound into an empty net from close range.

Wolves had begun to really test the Fulham defence after half an hour. Doyle scooped an effort over an empty net on the turn after out muscling Brede Hangeland and rounding Schwarzer, while Jamie O'Hara had the Fulham keeper at full stretch tipping his strike from range around the post.

Damien Duff could have turned the half on its head eleven minutes in but he squandered his chance to open the scoring, his right foot shot rolling neatly into the arms of Wayne Hennessey.

Duff had an opportunity to test Hennessey again early in the second half, mis-queuing his volley into the ground as it bounced wide and over the Wolves net.

Fulham's attempts on goal were beginning to dry up like a puddle in the Sahara.

Wolves on the other hand continued to flood Schwarzer's goal with strikes as they went looking for a third. Jarvis, O'Hara, Fletcher and Hunt all saw efforts flash past the woodwork or diverted away by the outstretched hands of the Australian keeper.

With ten minutes remaining Fulham finally kicked into 2^nd gear, Andy Johnson seeing his close range effort saved by Hennessey. Stephen Ward rescued his sides clean sheet, poking the rebound away from the outstretched toe of Clint Dempsey, denying the visitors a certain goal.

Fulham however failed to create more from their possession, allowing Wolves to coast to the finish line and become the first team to have a perfect record from their opening two games in the Premiership.
