Blues dump Wolves out of cup

BIRMINGHAM midfielder Wade Elliott stunned Wolves with a second half winner to earn Chris Hughton’s side a shock FA Cup third round replay win at Molineux last night.

The former Burnley player clinched a visit to Sheffield United in the fourth round with the deciding goal 17 minutes from time. Victory gave Blues a measure of revenge after losing their Premier League status at the expense of Wolves on the final day of last season.

“If we can come to a side like Wolves and get a result that gives us confidence to take into our league campaign and belief that we can go out and get results anywhere,” said Elliott.
