Sheffield Wednesday 0 Wolves 1

Mar 7 2009

Wolves again went close eight minutes before the break as Ebanks-Blake raced on to a long ball before seeing his shot deflected on to the roof of the net by a relieved Hinds.

Chances were few and far between in the second half, and more than 20 minutes had passed before Wednesday boss Brian Laws decided he had seen enough and sent on Akpo Sodje - making his long-awaited return from injury - to try and change the game.

The first meaningful chance of the half for either team came in the 77th minute when Marcus Tudgay ran on to Grant's long ball and pulled back a cross for Johnson, who kept his shot low but did not have the power to beat Hennessey.

When Kightly hobbled off with six minutes to go, Mick McCarthy sent on Richard Stearman as Wolves looked to shut up shop for the afternoon.

They almost killed the game for good moments later as Grant could only head clear on the edge of his area and Tommy Spurr had to block Andy Keogh's follow-up shot, but the visitors had already done enough.
