Preston leapfrog Wolves in the table after a 2-1 victory at Molineux

Wolverhampton Wanderers’ winless run in the Championship was extended to five matches as Preston North End left Molineux with all three points.

The result sees North End move up three places in the table to 11th and move above Wolves, who slip down  a place to 12th.

Paul Gallagher gave the visitors the lead early on with a neat chipped finish that had Wolves’ keeper Carl Ikeme well beaten.

Adam Reach doubled their advantage after the break, collecting the loose ball and firing low and hard past Ikeme.

Joe Mason scored his second goal in two appearances since signing for Wolves in January but Preston held on to earn Simon Grayson a valuable victory.

Wolves haven’t won a match since their 3-2 victory at home to Fulham early in January.

Kenny Jackett’s side were booed off the pitch at the final whistle for the second successive home match.

A bad afternoon for the hosts was made worse soon after Gallagher’s opening goal as midfielder and star man James Henry was forced off with a hamstring injury.

Up next, Preston host Sheffield Wednesday at Deepdale, whilst Wolves travel to Yorkshire to face Huddersfield.
