Half-Time - Burnley 1, Wolves 0
56 mins - Burnley should be two up after Blake does superbly to find Elliott, and from his pass, McCann's shot is saved, and Paterson finds the side-netting.
Seconds later, Steven Thompson glances on Graham Alexander's pass, and Paterson races clear and rounds Hennessey, only to see his shot from a tight angle cleared off the line by Richard Stearman.
From the corner, Paterson is clearly held as he looks to turn in the box, but what looks a definite penalty is turned down.
