Half-time: Brentford 1 Wolves 0

John Swift gave Brentford a half-time lead with his fifth goal of the season.

Alan Judge burst into the box and Swift’s shot hit Wolves defender Ethan Ebanks-Landell before striking Swift again and bouncing into an empty net.

Judge had hit the post from distance and Bees striker Marco Djuricin squandered chances, including an unmarked header from close range that he sent harmlessly over the bar.

Winger Nathan Byrne went closest for Wolves when he shot straight at keeper David Button unmarked inside the penalty area early on, while Joe Mason forced another save from Button on the stroke of half-time.
