Wolverhampton Wanderers and Peterborough United have played out a goalless first half at Molineux in League One this afternoon.

Bakary Sako, who has missed the previous two outings with a toe injury, looked lively in the early stages and nearly marked his return to first-team duties with a goal.

The 25-year-old let fly from 25 yards, but Peterborough goalkeeper Robert Olejnik was equal to the fizzing effort.

Michael Jacobs was next in line to try his luck but, after receiving a clever cut-back pass from Sako, he curled narrowly over the bar with Olejnik beaten.

Posh grew into the game and flirted with taking the lead after Conor Washington successfully rounded goalkeeper Carl Ikeme, but the angle was too narrow for the striker to find the goal.
