Wolves came from behind to beat Stoke 4-1 and continue their unbeaten start in the Sky Bet Championship.<\/p>\n

Sam Gallagher’s stunning second-minute goal gave Stoke the perfect start at Molineux but two goals in three minutes from Rodrigo Gomes turned the game on its head before half-time.<\/p>\n

Raul Jimenez’s penalty made it 3-1 after 55 minutes before substitute Jordan James scored on his home debut with six minutes remaining.<\/p>\n

Mateus Mane also went close for Wolves in a convincing performance from Cesar Peixoto’s side, who went top following the lunchtime fixtures.<\/p>\n

Gallagher shocked Wolves with a superb goal for the visitors. The forward held off Marshall Munetsi before curling a tremendous shot into the top corner from 25 yards, giving goalkeeper Jose Sa no chance.<\/p>\n

It was the 30-year-old’s first goal since March and came about from a sloppy square pass by Wolves attacker Fer Lopez.<\/p>\n

Gallagher went close to making it 2-0 when his shot was blocked by Sa after an early pass from Bae Jun-ho. Sorba Thomas should have buried the rebound only to fire wide.<\/p>\n

After surviving that scare, Wolves equalised in the 20th minute from their first serious chance and then took the lead three minutes later – both goals coming from Gomes, and both rebounds.<\/p>\n

The Portuguese attacker was ideally placed to stab home after goalkeeper Viktor Johansson parried Jimenez’s side-footed effort after a heavy touch by Eric Bocat.<\/p>\n

Rodrigo Gomes finds the net twice inside four minutes to give Wolves the lead against Stoke at Molineux.<\/span>

Mane did brilliantly for Wolves’ second goal. The 18-year-old beat Ben Johnson and Gallagher before holding off Bosun Lawal and his cross was parried by Johansson before Gomes fired high into the unguarded net.<\/p>\n

Wolves had a couple of opportunities to break following the restart but found their way halted by some resolute Stoke defending.<\/p>\n

Jimenez had a shot blocked but he won a penalty when he was impeded by Johnson at the far post challenging for Hugo Bueno’s corner.<\/p>\n

The Mexican needed no second invitation from the spot, firing home his second goal of the season as he coolly sent Johansson the wrong way.<\/p>\n

Mane was denied a fourth when his curling shot was tipped wide by Johansson, who smothered an angled drive from the same player.<\/p>\n

Very little had been seen of Stoke’s attack in the second half but Bocat screwed wide with a tame effort late on.<\/p>\n

James, who replaced Gomes in the 77th minute, started and finished the move for Wolves’ fourth.<\/p>\n

The Wales international swept home Lopez’s square pass from the right from 12 yards inside Johansson’s left-hand post. James’ crossfield pass had released Lopez out wide to start the move.<\/p>\n

Substitute Tawanda Chirewa’s curling effort was deflected over as Wolves looked for a fifth goal.<\/p>\n
