  /  autty

Wolves overcame two first-half injuries to move up to eighth in the Premier League with a 2-1 victory over Fulham.

Gary O'Neil's side are now just one point behind seventh-placed West Ham despite winger Pedro Neto suffering a hamstring injury late in the first 45 minutes after Jean-Ricner Bellegarde had hobbled off early on.

Fulham had the better of the first half amid Wolves' woes as Harry Wilson shot wide when through on goal before Tosin Adarabioyo hit the crossbar from close range.

But after regrouping at the break, Wolves left-back Ait-Nouri fired them into a 52nd-minute lead and then right-back Nelson Semedo saw his shot deflect in off Tom Cairney before Alex Iwobi netted a consolation for the visitors in added time.
