Wolverhampton Wanderers thrash Walsall

Wolverhampton Wanderers extend their lead at the top of League One after a 3-0 win at Walsall.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have extended their lead at the top of League One with a comprehensive 3-0 win at Walsall.

After a lively start by the home team, Wolves took control, passing the ball well and forcing a series of corners.

They failed to really test the goalkeeper, though, and were almost undone by Fabien Brandy on 26 minutes when the striker found space just outside the box, but his effort went narrowly wide.

Moments later Wolves were ahead after Dicko reacted quickest to tap the ball home from James Henry's cross for his first of the day.

Brandy again troubled the visitor's defence just before the break, forcing the goalkeeper to tip his powerful effort wide.

Shortly after half time Wolves doubled their lead with the same partnership, as Henry's ball into the box was smashed in from close range by Dicko.

Bakary Sako added a third with an excellent free kick as the game drew towards a close, before a Walsall fightback was a case of too little too late.
