Struggling Fulham swept aside by Wolves

Wolves 3 Fulham 0

Fulham remain only two places above the relegation zone after a heavy defeat at Molinuex, where all the goals came in the first half.

Danny Batth headed Wolves in front from Bakary Sako’s corner after 10 minutes and two goals from Sako followed before the break.

Sako belted home the hosts’ second and netted again on the stroke of half-time when keeper Marcus Bettinelli allowed the Frenchman’s shot to squirm through him and into the net.

It continued a miserable run for Kit Symons’ team, who are without a win in eight matches – a sequence which has included five defeats – and still have the threat of relegation hanging over them.

They rarely looked like recovering from the early goal and a fine left-footed strike by Sako left them facing an uphill task.

And once Bettinelli was beaten at his near post for the third, there was no way back.

Fulham’s best chance fell to Ross McCormack in the first half but he could only shoot straight at keeper Tomasz Kuszczak.

Wolves continued to threaten in the second period and Bettinelli prevented a fourth goal when he denied Benik Afobe.

Fulham: Bettinelli, Richards, Hutchinson, Bodurov, Stafylidis, Tunnicliffe, Christensen, Fofana (Kavanagh 56), Ruiz, McCormack, Rodallega (Woodrow 81).
