Half-time: Wolves 0 Brentford 1

Marco Djuricin’s third goal of the season gave Brentford a thoroughly deserved lead at the break.

The Austrian struck on 17 minutes, his shot deflecting off Danny Batth and looping over Wolves keeper Damian Martinez.

While the finish may have owed a little to good fortune, the Bees excellent start to the game merited a goal.

Alan Judge was particularly sharp early on, seeing a free-kick deflected wide, while Djuricin was a constant menace to the Wolves defence.

Brentford’s passing was crisp, with Ryan Woods and John Swift linking up play well, and Wolves were limited to off-target efforts from James Henry and Adam Le Fondre.

Bees keeper David Button was forced into his only save late in the first half when he palmed away an effort from Liverpool loanee Sheyi Ojo.
