A Kevin Doyle brace in the space of three minutes gives Wolves a 2-1 lead going into half-time of their match against Bolton.

The visitors came close through Martin Petrov after 10 minutes as his rasping effort flew inches past Carl Ikeme's post.

They took the lead in the 21st minute after Wolves failed to deal with a Petrov corner, allowing Benik Afobe time to take a touch before stabbing his shot home.

Wolves came within inches of equalising less than five minutes later when Roger Johnson met Jermaine Pennant's corner, only to see his effort bounce up off the ground and onto the crossbar.

They wouldn't have to wait long to draw back level, however, as Doyle slid the ball past Adam Bogdan just before the half-hour mark.

The hosts completed a mini turnaround just three minutes later when Doyle grabbed his second of the game, this time nodding in a loose ball after Bogdan had parried Bakary Sako's strike.
