Wolves, who are behind fourth-bottom Ipswich Town on goal difference and have a game less to play after that 3-0 defeat, went close when Jorgen Strand Larsen’s first-time shot hit the post shortly after Isak’s first shot, but the Swede Striker added his second goal with a pass from Bruno Guimaraes after 57 minutes.
