West Brom v Wolves (1-1)

A derby match and a chance for either team to help themselves in the relegation battle. So would it live up to expectations. Well it took 39 minutes for the first goal, and it was a cracker by Tottenham loanee Jamie O'Hara who smashed the ball into the top corner after it was laid up to him from the free kick by Nenad Milijas. It looked like this would be the winning goal as the game went into injury time but it wasn't to be. James Morrison took a shot from the edge of the penalty area, the keeper couldn't hold onto it and Carlos Vela followed up to give the home fans and new boss Roy Hodgson something to cheer about. Not the best result for either team, though West Brom will be the happier as they could have easily gone away with nothing. Wolves remain bottom of the table and West Brom sit just outside the relegation zone 1 point clear of Wigan.
