The hosts dominated proceedings in the first half with a comfortable display. In defence they were untroubled and in attack they looked dangerous as Championship side Preston were pinned in their own half.

It only took eight minutes for Wolves to take a deserved lead when Raul Jimenez finished from close range after a flowing move, before donning some pirate attire for his celebration.

After a comfortable but slightly less exciting period, Adama Traore burst the game back into life with a spectacular volley from 20 yards that flew into the top corner in front of a delighted North Bank.

On the stroke of half-time Wolves should have silenced any doubters when Hwang Hee-chan was bundled over in the box and he picked himself off the turf to take the penalty. However, a terrible and scuffed spot-kick meant it was easily saved.
