It was good to be back at Molineux on Sunday after a summer that seemed to drag on forever.
After an opening day win at the Ewood Park there was a massive buzz around the place with many a beer being drunk in the sunshine.
One thing was missing and that was the North bank which although was closed did look very impressive even though it is half done. Danny Murphey was again the brunt of the Wolves fans chants after his dirty Wolves comment last season and although he has been forgiven by Mick Mcarthy the Wolves faithful have not forgot or forgiven.
Wolves started the game as they left off against Blackburn with some free flowing football and various half chances but the Fulham defense stood strong until the half an hour mark. Kevin Doyle chased down a half hearted ball to find the Fulham defender unsure what to do. He nicked the ball and then easily floated around the stranded keeper only to fall back and put the ball flying into the disbelieving South Bank. But this was the sign of thing to come and 5 minutes later Doyle found a through ball near the byline to smash it in from a tight angle. The Wolves fans has barley stopped celebrating when the Fulham's defense was again breached by a free flowing Wolves move finished well by Matt Jarvis.
The second half was controlled by Wolves with lots of half chances for Wolves with long shots just wide by O'Hara and Hunt. Fulham had one big chance to set up a grand stand finish but Steven Ward was on hand with a last ditch tackle to stop the ball going in from a few yards. But Wolves finished the game in style leaving themselves top of the Premier League for the first time since the 1960's.
My man of the match was Rodger Johnson who did brilliantly to organize and steady the ship.
