Wolves still in promotion hunt as Bluebirds’ wings clipped

MICHAEL KIGHTLY marked his first start in five months with a goal as Wolves gained ground in the Coca-Cola Championship play-off hunt at Molineux and ended Cardiff’s own lingering promotion hopes.

Andy Keogh’s bullet header handed the home side an eighth-minute lead before Sylvan Ebanks-Blake served further notice of his growing reputation with his ninth goal in the last 11 games.

Wanderers picked up where they left off in the second half and Kightly’s night was complete when he tapped in from close range in the 57th minute after City goalkeeper Peter Enckelman had spilled Ebanks-Blake’s shot.
