The game is petering out now. Cardiff appear to have accepted the result. With a difficult run of fixtures ahead of them, they may well be fearing for their Premier League place.
86'
Ralls curls a cross in that Morrison meets in the crowded box, but it's tamely at Ruddy and straight down the slot for the goalkeeper.
82'
Ralls tries his luck from outside the box but it's blocked away. Cardiff look out of ideas.
80'
A deep Cardiff free-kick finds its way to Joe Bennett at the far post, but Saiss hacks his low cross behind for a corner.
78'
Doherty pulls off a neat spin as Wolves play neat interchanges in a tight area. They're enjoying this game and so are the home fans.
76'
R. Healey enters the game and replaces O. Niasse.
Niasse makes way for Healey as Warnock rolls the dice with another substitution.
75'
Ivan Cavaleiro enters the game and replaces Adama Traoré.
Traore goes off for Cavaleiro - he's put in a real shift today.
71'
Vinagre works his socks off to get to the ball ahead of two Cardiff players and he holds them off long enough to earn himself a free-kick. The crowd show their appreciation for his hard work.
69'
Patterson tries a bicycle kick inside a crowded box and is penalised for a high boot as Boly puts his head in the way.
Minute
Description
67'
Wolves still look extremely comfortable. Cardiff have yet to really test them defensively since their early flurry, although they've been better at the back themselves.
65'
MISS! Jimenez meets Moutinho's cross - his first touch of the game - in the middle of the box but can only loop his header onto the roof of the net.
64'
João Moutinho enters the game and replaces M. Gibbs-White.
Gibbs-White receives a standing ovation as he's replaced by Moutinho. He's had a great game.
62'
L. Peltier gets yellow.
Peltier is booked as he brings down Vinagre after the referee had given the advantage to Wolves for a foul just moments earlier.
59'
C. Paterson enters the game and replaces B. De Cordova-Reid.
Reid is replaced by Paterson as Warnock tries to change the game. He's had a quiet game.
54'
MISS! Traore gets away down the left with a burst of acceleration, but he drags his shot wide of the far post. He gets into dangerous positions with such regularity, but his composure often lets him down.
52'
MISS! Reid takes a snap-shot but he leans back on the edge of the box and balloons his effort over the bar. Cardiff look bereft of confidence.
50'
Cardiff don't look sure whether to stick or twist at this point. Wolves look comfortable defensively.
48'
MISS! Traore charges down the centre with the ball, but he loses his composure as he gets towards the box and shanks an awful shot wide of the mark while off-balance.
47'
M. Doherty enters the game and replaces Diogo Jota.
Strangely, Wolves make a change right at the start of the half. Jota trudges off - presumably with an injury - with Doherty coming on and slotting in at right wing-back while Traore joins Jimenez up front.
46'
We're back underway for the second half!
45' +7
HALF-TIME: WOLVES 2-0 CARDIFF CITY
45' +6
Ryan Bennett slides in right at the end of the half and gives away a silly free-kick. He's very lucky to get away without a second yellow card there, too. The referee has been lenient today with his bookings.
45' +4
Niasse is felled by Saiss and the resulting free-kick will surely be the last action of the first half.
45' +2
B. Ecuele Manga enters the game and replaces S. Bamba.
Manga replaces the unfortunate Bamba and slots into defence alongside Morrison.
45' +1
S. Bamba gets yellow.
Bamba picks up his yellow card, but he has to be stretchered off with what looks like it could be a serious knee injury.
41'
Traore drives powerfully down the right and feints his way to the byline, working a yard of space for the cutback that is desperately hacked clear. Really clever feet from the winger.
40'
More classy build-up play from Wolves sees Gibbs-White only just fail to play the ball in behind for Jimenez after showing good strength to wrest it off Gunnarsson. The hosts are clearly on top now.
38'
Morrison gets away without even conceding a foul despite shoving his forearm into the face and throat of Jota. He's very lucky not to get booked for that.
36'
Joe Bennett makes a bursting run forward down the left and almost gets there, but Saiss gets a little touch on it and it comes out off the left-back for a goal-kick.
34'
R. Bennett gets yellow.
Ryan Bennett fells Reid and picks up his 10th booking of the season, meaning he will now face a two-match ban.
32'
Traore is isolated one-on-one against Joe Bennett, but the Cardiff left-back stands up well and blocks the cross behind for a corner.
31'
Both sides seem content to slow the pace of the game down for a bit after a hectic opening half-an-hour.
29'
Cardiff work the ball to Niasse well as he picks it up in a pocket of space outside the box before seeing his shot deflected behind for a corner.
28'
Jota nutmegs Gunnarsson and surges forward looking inspired. He neglects to play a team-mate in, however, and sees his shot blocked by Bamba in the end.
26'
Vinagre is sent scampering clear down the left again as Cardiff's attack breaks down and the left wing-back heads for the byline before crossing for Jimenez, but it's a touch late and blue shirts have scrambled back to head clear.
24'
Cardiff try to recapture the level of performance they showed in the first 15 minutes of the game and barrel their way into the Wolves half. Zohore works the ball back to Ralls outside the box, but the midfielder skies his effort well over the bar.
18'
R. Jiménez has scored a goal for Wolverhampton Wanderers! Assist by Diogo Jota.
Jota made a great run in at the back post and was really unselfish in squaring after his touch was heavy. Great play from the forward.
GOAL!!! WOLVES ARE 2-0 UP!! It's a stunning counter-attack from Wolves as they break down the left. Jimenez plays a delightful outside-of-the-boot cross to Jota, whose control is a little heavy and he squares back to his strike partner unselfishly for the Mexican to sweep home at the near post! Another quality goal!
16'
Diogo Jota has scored a goal for Wolverhampton Wanderers! Assist by R. Jiménez.
Jimenez featured heavily in the build-up and the teamwork and understanding was spot on leading to a top class goal.
GOAL!!! WHAT A GOAL!! Wolves are 1-0 up after being under the cosh early on and what a beautiful goal this is! They play some wonderful one-touch football featuring a lovely touch from Gibbs-White and Jimenez eventually plays a one-two with Jota, who slots home confidently! It's a great team goal!
14'
Wolves have weathered a storm here but are starting to feel their way back into this game after some signficant Cardiff pressure.
12'
Traore runs at his man for the first time this afternoon and beats him with a neat bit of footwork and pace, before earning a throw-in on the right.
10'
Cardiff have started really brightly. They surge down the left and the ball is crossed into the box for Zohore, but it's just nicked away from him. Wolves try to counter down the left through Jota, but he's all on his own and eventually runs it out of play for a goal-kick.
8'
Gunnarsson launches a trademark long throw into the box from the right and it's flicked on, but a host of Wolves defenders crowd the box and eventually scramble it clear.
5'
Gibbs-White can count himself fortunate to escape a yellow card after a clumsy challenge on Gunnarsson. Perhaps the time on the clock convinced the referee to keep his cards in his pocket.
3'
A somewhat nervy opening from both sides as a few touches go astray.
1'
We're off at Molineux!
Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Premier League fixture between Wolves and Cardiff City at Molineux Stadium.
The line-ups are out and we'll start with the home side.
Wolves XI (3-4-1-2): John Ruddy; Ryan Bennett, Conor Coady, Willy Boly; Adama Traore, Romain Saiss, Leander Dendoncker, Ruben Vinagre; Morgan Gibbs-White; Raul Jimenez, Diogo Jota
Wolves substitutes: Ruben Neves, Ivan Cavaleiro, Joao Moutinho, Helder Costa, Will Norris, Jonny, Matt Doherty
Cardiff City XI (4-1-2-1-2): Neil Etheridge; Lee Peltier, Sean Morrison, Sol Bamba, Joe Bennett; Aron Gunnarsson; Victor Camarasa, Joe Ralls; Bobby Reid; Oumar Niasse, Kenneth Zohore
Cardiff City substitutes: Rhys Healey, Kadeem Harris, Bruno Ecuele Manga, Alex Smithies, Callum Paterson, Leandro Bacuna, Harry Arter
They have a poor record against these opponents, however, having lost five of their last seven league matches against Cardiff (W2), losing the reverse fixture 2-1 at the Cardiff City Stadium in November.
Despite weathering an early storm, Wolves put their poor performance against Huddersfield last time out to bed with their first-half showing. They looked sharp and incisive in the final third and could easily be further in front. Cardiff will be wondering how it all went so wrong after their strong start. It looks a long way back now.
Wolves travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea next, while Cardiff host West Ham.
That's all from us, we hope you enjoyed the game. Thanks for joining our coverage, until next time, goodbye!
