United limited the visitors to few chances after the break, and continued to create regular opportunities. Ibragimov headed Bailey’s excellent left-wing cross over the bar before his own right-wing ball teed up Biancheri. He duly finished but was unfortunately flagged offside.
After Plunkett shot over, Ibragimov curled one outside the right post and substitute Victor Musa struck the crossbar, a slice of fortune finally dropped United’s way. Kamason’s cross was deemed dangerous enough by Saheed Olagunju to intervene and the Wolves defender unintentionally turned the ball past his own goalkeeper to restore United’s lead late on.
Samuel Lusale, who came on alongside Musa after 61 minutes, provided plenty of excitement down the right wing and headed one over with five minutes remaining before lifting an effort over both the out-rushing Hardy and the crossbar when one-one shortly after.
Own goal-scorer Olagunju forced a decent save from Byrne-Hughes at the other end before Ibragimov’s deflected effort gave Hardy something else to think about, but the Wolves shot-stopper was equal to it.
