Mick McCarthy's men blew away their hosts with a quick fire first half double from Seyi Olofinjana and Michael Gray - producing some of their best football of the season at Turf Moor.

The game was effectively over as a contest within 11 minutes of the restart as Sylvan Ebanks-Blake got Wolves their third.

Former Molineux striker Ade Akinbiyi prompted brief hopes of a fight back for the home side when he plundered a consolation goal from close range but Wolves held firm for a fully deserved victory.
