Wolves had a goal ruled out on the stroke of halftime by VAR when Daniel Podence was judged to have been offside before he crossed for Willian Jose to send a powerful header past Alphonse Areola.

The home side pressed forward in the second half but it was Traore who came up trumps, breaking away late and blasting the ball home to leave Fulham in 18th place in the table with 26 points, three behind 17th-placed Newcastle United.

Wolves move provisionally 12th on the table ahead of Crystal Palace and Southampton.
