Wolverhampton Wanderers are level at 1-1 with Reading at the break of this afternoon's Championship clash at Molineux.

The visitors scored straight from the kickoff when the ball was sent forward to Simon Cox, who flicked over the Wolves defence where Pavel Pogrebnyak collected and slotted home.

Wolves set about trying to level proceedings and threatened just a few minutes later when Bakary Sako bore down on goal before blasting over from 25 yards.

In the 25th minute, Royals goalkeeper Adam Federici pulled off a great save from Danny Batth, with Nathaniel Chalobah then launching into an acrobatic goalline clearance to fully remove the danger.

Just before the half-hour mark, however, Wolves managed to equalise when Rajiv van la Parra sent a pinpoint cross the way of Benik Afobe, who made no mistake in heading home from six yards.
