BRISTOL CITY 1-2 WOLVES
Not a Cup tie that will live long in the memory but Wolves are through, and deservedly so. Despite only being at their best fleetingly, they created quite a few good chances.
Bristol City gave it a go in the second half but only had one clear sight of goal. #WWFC

Given all the circumstances - the pressure on every game now and the players who were missing - that is an outstanding win for Wolves. They had some moments of luck but they took their chances superbly and played with real commitment and resilience. #WWFC
