Burnley 1 Wolves 3 - report

Wolves breathed new life into their play off push with a terrific win at promotion rivals Burnley.

Mick McCarthy's men blew away their hosts with a quick fire first half double from Seyi Olofinjana and Michael Gray - producing some of their best football of the season at Turf Moor.

And they closed the game out in the second half with an assured defensive effort, despite losing first choice defensive pairing Gary Breen and Jody Craddock just 24 hours before the game.

They started brightly and with the recalled Olofinjana handed an attacking role in the midfield five they looked dangerous from the first whistle.

Olofinjana had already tested The Clarets defence with a couple of bursting runs before he opened the scoring on 14 minutes, driving in behind the Burnley back four to latch onto a smart Sylvan Ebanks-Blake pass before sweeping past Burnley goalkeeper Gabor Kiraly.

Burnley barely had time to mount a counter offensive before a calamitous error of Kiraly gifted Wolves a crucial second goal.

Defender Clarke Carlisle sold the goalkeeper short with an under hit back pass and Kiraly compounded the mistake by whacking his attempted clearance straight against the chest of Gray with the rebound rolling into an unguarded net.

Burnley came back strongly as the half wore on but Wolves held firm with Wayne Hennessey in inspired form to tip over a Graham Alexander shot looked destined for the top corner.

The game was effectively over as a contest within 11 minutes of the restart as Ebanks-Blake benefited from another Kiraly calamity when his low drive squirmed through the goalkeepers hands to give Wolves their third.

Former Molineux striker Ade Akinbiyi prompted brief hopes of a fight back for the home side when he plundered a consolation goal from close range but Wolves held firm for a fully deserved victory.
