77 Now the pressure comes. Blake lays the ball back to Alexander in the area and the Clarets ace is just too high

75 Short corner from Burnley and Blake drills straight at Hahnemann

73 GOAL! 1-2 Thompson heads into the net from close range after Alexander puts the ball back into the mix following a flurry of pressure

65 Blake cuts to the by-line and rifles a low ball off the outside of the post from close to the line. The keeper is deceived though and it's another let off for Wolves

59 Doyle slides the ball across the goal line and inches wide of Jensen's far post on the run. That could have been it!

55 Double sub. Eagles and Bikey replaced by Thompson and Blake

50 And on it goes. Paterson;s cut back clearly hits Berra on the upper arm but incredibly there is no penalty awarded by Steve Bennett

47 GOAL! 0-2 Guedioura lets fly from distance and the ball ,heading well wide, cannons off the unfortunate Carlisle and past Jensen into the bottom corner. When your luck is out…

45 Burnley's luck is right out. Carlisle heads down Mears' deep free kick and Nugent hammers the ball into the ground, up and onto the crossbar on the turn with Hahnemann beaten

40 Fox limps off to be replaced by Jordan

37 The Clarets have really been rocked by that self-inflicted goal and are struggling to get their stride. It's another uphill battle ahead of the lads

26 GOAL! 0-1 Mears tries to find Jensen with a back header, but it's never going to reach with such little pace on the ball and Jarvis takes advantage, sliding the ball past Jensen on the angle and rolling the ball into an empty net

21 Eagles is fouled 25 yards out and Fox curls a free kick over the wall, but Hahnemann again makes the routine save

17 Wolves put a spurt on and suddenly the Old Gold are on top

13 Jensen springs from his area to counter Doyle's clever run, and takes him out with a diving header! It's a bizarre booking for the Beast

8 Wolves' first chance comes from a Jones header from a hanging right wing cross, which Jensen drops on easily

6 It's a really positive start from the Clarets in front of a near-sell-out crowd.

5 Alexander pounces on a loose ball 30 yards and lets fly, only for Hahnemann to again prove himself with a flying save

3 Eagles cuts in from the left and his low shot is scuffed for a corner by Hahnemann

4-4-2 for Burnley, with Elliott wide and Paterson up front alongside in-form Nugent
