Match Summary
|
Monty’s congratulatory letter fails to inspire the team, as Wright’s 30-yard free-kick sets the tone. Butler lets Hancocks’ shot spill from his hands, then an offside denies Reid after the break. Phillips hits the post as the Wolves goal leads a charmed life. Smyth’s deflected shot seals it.
