Monday 3rd November 2008, 8:00AM GMT.
Wolves opened a gap at the top of the table thanks to an early scoring blitz against Cardiff City at Ninian Park.
Mick McCarthy’s men got off to a flyer, netting both of their goals in the first eight minutes.
Chris Iwelumo opened the scoring in the fourth minute after a double mistake by the Cardiff defence.
Sylvain Ebanks-Blake doubled their lead on eight minutes after beating the off-side trap to finish in the corner.
Ross McCormack pulled one back on 19 minutes to score his 11th Championship goal of the season for Cardiff, now managed by former Wolves boss Dave Jones.
Iwelumo capitalised when centre-half Roger Johnson misjudged a header 35 yards out from goal.
The Scotland striker ran in on goal, dodging a mistimed tackle by Joe Ledley, and slotted the ball past goalkeeper Tom Heaton.
Ebanks-Blake’s strike came after he latched onto a through-ball to beat ex-Blues and Albion star Darren Purse as the last man in defence.
After a clear run into the box he slipped a left-foot shot past Heaton from the edge of the six-yard box.
The home side’s luck worsened when former Molineux striker Jay Bothroyd limped off after pulling up with a hamstring injury on 10 minutes.
