Top Of The League: West Bromwich

[Mighty T.A.L.]

Wolves 0-1 West Bromwich

West Brom climbed to the top of the Championship thanks to Zoltan Gera's second-half winner against Wolves.

Gera sidefooted home Kevin Phillips' cross for the only goal, damaging Wolves' play-off hopes in the process.

Sylvan Ebanks-Blake went close for the hosts with a header and Gera thumped the woodwork in a pulsating encounter.

Michael Gray shinned the ball into the side-netting for Wolves and Seyi Olofinjana had their best chance in the dying seconds but headed wide.

This result takes Albion on top.
