Bournemouth manage to take all three points away from Molineux, with a single goal separating the two sides after a scrappy and cagey 90 minutes with little quality. A goalless first half gave way to a stop-start second period, with 11 combined substitutions and yellow cards occurring in the half-hour spell immediately after the restart. The situation could not have been more perfect for O’Neil’s side, who took the advantage after 49 minutes through Tavernier’s chested finish and looked to sit back on that lead with the occasional counter-attack going the other way. A frustrated Lopetegui kept sending attacking players onto the pitch but the Cherries defence held firm against the pair of Costa and Jimenez to secure their first win since November. The result puts Bournemouth up into 17th while Wolves drop to 15th.

Jimenez leaves a leg dangling and Billing intelligently takes the bait, falling over the striker while in possession to win a free-kick. The referee immediately blows his whistle and gives the visitors the set-piece, with Neto making his way up the pitch slowly to oversee it.

Bournemouth are winning a succession of throw-ins down the right wing, with Smith finding both Rothwell and Semenyo before Wolves defenders poke it away and out for another. It’s playing perfectly into Cherries’ hands, with the hosts desperate to get the ball up the pitch for one more attack.

Zemura has now gone down off the ball and is requiring a bit of treatment to his left leg. It doesn’t appear a time-wasting tactic however, as a substitute is immediately prepared on the Bournemouth touchline.

It’s been a stop-start 15 minutes since the hour mark, with a number of substitutions and yellow cards preventing Wolves from getting into any rhythm at all. It’s a good situation for the visitors, who are looking to see out the result with minimal fuss.

Adama Traore pulls a powerful pass back to the edge of the penalty area for Matheus Cunha, whose rocketed first-time effort is blocked with a tremendous noise by Stephens. The centre-back has no qualms about showing his pleasure with the effort either, celebrating intently as his side clear away the danger.

News elsewhere is very positive for the Cherries, with Everton having just taken the lead against Leeds. The two results combine to take Bournemouth - temporarily - out of the bottom three as things stand.

Semedo puts a decent cross into the penalty area for Matheus Cunha but Stephens again shows off his aerial prowess with a powerful clearing header.

Bournemouth have kept just two clean sheets in their 11 league games against Wolves (W4 D3 L4), with one of those coming in the reverse fixture this season (0-0).

Moutinho’s corner-kick is taken short to Sarabia, who whips in a cross from a slightly more central angle. It’s a dangerous delivery with a team-mate waiting at the far post but Neto times his leap correctly to get two hands to the ball.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth

16:12 , admin

Kilman switches play out to the right for Adama Traore, who again takes on and beats Zemura. The cross is a good one but Matheus Cunha fails to get decent contact to the ball, allowing Stephens to turn it behind for a corner.

The goal is huge for Bournemouth, who have gone level with Everton as things stand on 19 points; one back of safety. Any change to the score in the Everton-Leeds match could affect the Cherries’ outlook after 23 games but for now it’s all positive for Gary O’Neil.

Stephens comes across and doesn’t earn any style points as he smashes the ball high into the stands for a Wolves throw-in, but with Adama Traore getting by both Senesi and Zemura on the counter, it’s a necessary move.

Wolves certainly have options on the bench to change the game, with Ait Nouri and Podence certainly able to help provide some width. Matheus Cunha may also need replacing at some stage with his impact minimal, and Lopetegui is presented with two options: Costa or Jimenez. Bournemouth will also look to get the big striker on with Moore waiting for his opportunity. Anthony could also be in line for an appearance - having started the Cherries’ previous match against Newcastle.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth

15:48 , admin

An energetic first half at Molineux Stadium comes to a close with nothing to separate the two sides, as Wolves and Bournemouth are kept to a goalless draw after 45 minutes. The stalemate comes from both side’s preference of hitting on the counter-attack, which has led to relatively little on-the-ball quality. Wolves were certainly the more comfortable of the two in possession - dominating that stat as a result - though their best chances to test Neto came from Sarabia and Adama Traore stretching the game down the flanks. For the visitors, Ouattara has lookely lively and willing, though there has not been much in the way of goal-mouth action.

With less than five minutes left in the half it will take something special if either side wishes to break the deadlock before the half. It's been a tight affair with most of the action occuring in midfield as the two sides struggle to test the opposition's goalkeepers with any regularity.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth

15:43 , admin

Adama Traore tries his luck with a shot from the right corner of the penalty area but it’s a low, dribbling attempt that rolls comfortably into the arms of the goalkeeper.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth

15:41 , admin

Moutinho sets Sarabia up for a first-time effort on goal from an acute angle but Neto gets down well to parry the shot, taking it out of harm’s way in the process.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth

15:40 , admin

Wolves have never lost in five previous Premier League meetings with Bournemouth (W3 D2), keeping three clean sheets and conceding just twice.

15:38 , admin

Traore fires Bournemouth’s first corner of the game into the near post but there’s only Matheus Cunha in the vicinity, with the striker eager to get the ball away from his penalty area.

Neves plays a long pass over the top for Matheus Nunes, who had started his run from a very deep position. The midfielders look to catch Neto off-guard but the goalkeeper is alert to the danger, coming off his line quickly to meet the delivery at the top of his 18-yard box.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth

The counter-kick count is racking up for Wolves, with Moutinho tasked with taking their seventh of the game. It’s a similarly poor effort to some of their earlier attempts, with the Portugal international finding only Hamed Traore - who clears his penalty area.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth

15:33 , admin

Bueno’s fancy footwork opens up a bit of room ahead of Outtara but the full-back’s cross with his weaker left foot is immediately rejected by the head of Senesi.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth

15:32 , admin

Sarabia’s corner is taken to the near post, where Lerma rises highest to meet it. The clearance sets Bournemouth away on a counter-attack but Tavernier’s miscontrol of a Hamed Traore pass means the move breaks down prematurely.

Yellow Card Philip Anyanwu Billing

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth

15:28 , admin

Sarabia hits a switch of play from left to right which appears to be sailing over the head of Traore on the opposite flank. Somehow, the winger manages to leap in the air and bring it down with extremely impressive control, before bursting forward towards the byline. A cross eventually comes in towards Matheus Cunha but it’s Stephens who wins the battle.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth

15:27 , admin

Neves goes down holding his head after Billing catches the Portugal international during a tussle for a throw-in. It’s a free-kick for Wolves deep in Bournemouth’s half, which the hosts take quick and short.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth

15:23 , admin

CLOSE! Tavernier gives the ball away to Matheus Nunes, who immediately plays a pass down the flank for Semedo. The full-back drives on before pulling a cross back to the near post for Sarabia, who only manages to find the goalkeeper!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth

15:23 , admin

Stephens gets in the way of Matheus Cunha cleverly to prevent a Wolves counter-attack, bringing the forward down in the process. It’s a cynical foul but not deemed worthy of a booking by the referee.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth

15:20 , admin

Smith’s error allows Sarabia to win the ball back on the halfway line and advance a Wolves attack but Moutinho’s pass through for Traore from the edge of the penalty area is hit with too much power, taking it beyond the line and out for a goal-kick.

Ouattara looks to turn defence into attack after a Wolves throw-in leads to a change in possession but Matheus Nunes comes steaming back to take advantage of the winger’s heavy touch and win the ball.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth

15:16 , admin

Sarabia looks to take full advantage of the ensuing set-piece but Sarabia sends his corner straight into the awaiting arms of Neto.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth

15:16 , admin

Neves plays a leading pass for Traore down the right, who uses a couple of stepovers to win space ahead of Zemura before firing in a low cross that’s blocked by the covering Senesi and put behind for a corner.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth

15:15 , admin

Sarabia charges through Lerma and catches him on the chin with his shoulder, with the Bournemouth midfielder down requiring a bit of a check-up. He should be okay to continue but he is afforded a small break in play ahead of the free-kick deep in midfield.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth

15:11 , admin

Wolves look to win the ball high up the pitch after a lovely passing move down the left breaks down but the referee is on the spot to blow his whistle for a Bournemouth free-kick, after Moutinho is judged to have used too much force on Billing.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth

15:10 , admin

Moutinho’s corner from the left causes havoc in the Bournemouth penalty area, with Neto sending his punch straight against the back of a team-mate. Traore scrambles it off the line but both Senesi and Smith fail in their attempts to get the ball out of the penalty area, with Lerma finally cutting across to clear the danger.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth

15:08 , admin

Neto comes well out of his penalty area to beat Traore to Semedo’s pass, with the full-back playing his team-mate through onside. Nobody ever looks the favourite in a race against the pacey Wolves winger but the goalkeeper does just enough to get there first to put it out for a throw.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth

15:07 , admin

Sarabia’s inswinging corner looks for Matheus Cunha but the striker’s touch is initially blocked by Stephens before Tavernier hooks it away over his shoulder.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth

15:03 , admin

Neves threads a pass through to Sarabia inside the penalty area but the winger is unable to get his cross past Stephens, who manages to keep the ball in play and clear the danger.
