Latest Score: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1 Albion 1MATCH UPDATES
HT: A very quiet first half burst into life in the closing moments with Albion equalising before Henry was dismissed just two minutes later. All square here at Molineux at the break.
45+2: Sako fires over with a powerful free kick form distance.
45: RED CARD! Wolves captain Karl Henry sees a straight red card for a lunging tackle on Liam Bridcutt as the first half comes to an explosive end.
43: GOAL! What a goal from Craig Mackail-Smith. David Lopez plays in Bruno down the right and the Spanish right back squares the ball back to Mackail-Smith. The Scottish international curls a brilliant first time shot over Ikeme into the top left hand corner.
34: Early substitution for Albion, Inigo Calderon has come on in place of Wayne Bridge with the in-form left back seemingly struggling with an injury.
28: Bruno tries his luck from 30 yards and his effort is only just wide of Carl Ikeme's left hand post.
22:GOAL! The hosts had upped the tempo in the last five minutes and it has paid off. A brilliant flick from Kevin Doyle puts Bakary Sako through and the midfielder drills a low drive past Kuszczak into his bottom left hand corner.
18: A hairy moment for Albion as Kevin Doyle's back post header causes a slight scramble in the box but Tomasz Kuszczak gathers. Wolves starting to apply a bit more pressure after a slow start.
09: There is a sense of frustration amongst the home fans after a good start from Albion, who are looking sharper than their hosts early on.
02: Nearly the perfect start for Albion as Andrea Orlandi's header plays David Lopez in but the Spaniard's driven shot is dragged just wide.
