Wolves claim nervy win over Trotters
Goals from Jody Craddock and Nenad Milijas put them in the driving seat at Molineux.[LNB]But when substitute Johan Elmander hit back with 12 minutes remaining, it set up a tense finish.[LNB]Bolton, though, failed to get the goal they craved despite some sustained pressure.[LNB]Wolves moved off the foot of the table after the three points boss McCarthy was hoping for.[LNB]They got off to the best possible start by making the breakthrough in the third minute.[LNB]Andy O'Brien was hauled back after a challenge on Kevin Doyle and Milijas swung in the free-kick.[LNB]Christophe Berra flicked the ball on and Craddock swept it home from close range for his fourth goal of the season.[LNB]Wolves almost added a second in the 18th minute when Richard Stearman headed goalwards following a corner from Matt Jarvis.[LNB]Stearman thought he had done enough to score but Ricardo Gardner cleared off the line to prevent Bolton going further behind.[LNB]Play switched back down the other end and Gary Cahill just failed to get a proper connection after Lee Chung-Yong had delivered the corner.[LNB]Bolton were finding it hard to get going but Ivan Klasnic tested Marcus Hahnemann from distance in the 26th minute.[LNB]They forced another corner in the 37th minute but Gretar Steinsson saw his effort go wide of the post after Lee's delivery from the left.[LNB]Matt Taylor then thumped in a 30-yard free-kick five minutes later, only for Hahnemann to take the sting out of his effort with a degree of comfort.[LNB]Then Milijas was set up by Doyle but he got a poor touch and skied a shot over the bar.[LNB]Wolves were keen to build on their slim lead and Milijas rattled in a shot in the 46th minute that spun to safety off Gary Cahill.[LNB]Bolton, however, stepped up the pace with both Taylor and Cahill in quick succession getting on the end of corners from Lee but failing to take advantage.[LNB]Klasnic then worked an opening for himself in the 58th minute but failed to test Hahnemann, sending his effort nearer to the corner flag than the goal.[LNB]Wolves again found themselves on the back foot four minutes later but Ricardo Gardner strayed offside and the move broke down.[LNB]But the home side responded and extended their lead in the 63rd minute with a marvellous goal from Milijas.[LNB]The Wolves midfielder latched on to a loose ball, strode forward and lashed a shot beyond goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen.[LNB]It was a stunning strike and Bolton were left reeling after enjoying a decent spell of possession.[LNB]They hit back and Tamir Cohen homed in on goal five minutes later but Ward made a crucial block. Then Hahnemann reacted superbly to parry Taylor's close-range effort.[LNB]Wolves should have punished Bolton even more in the 74th minute but Edwards sent a weak shot into Jaaskelainen's body from a good position.[LNB]Four minutes later Bolton pulled a goal back through Elmander and give themselves a glimmer of hope.[LNB]The Swedish striker was set up by Klasnic following a corner from Taylor and beat the goalkeeper from close range.[LNB]Klasnic should have pulled the sides level in the 81st minute but Hahnemann made a comfortable save and Wolves held out.[LNB][LNB]
