Wolves and Celta Vigo share the spoils

Goals from Joaquin Larrivey and Nouha Dicko meant the spoils were shared in a pre-season friendly between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Celta Vigo at Molineux.

The visitors had the better of the opening exchanges with chances falling to Gustavo Cabral and Levy Madinda, but neither could find a way past Carl Ikeme.

Just after the half-hour mark, Wanderers took the lead after a slack back pass allowed Rajiv van La Parra to pick up the loose ball and square for Dicko to tap into the empty net.

In what was a feisty contest the Wanderers bench was incensed moments later when it appeared that Cabral head butted Dicko. However, the referee gave both players a yellow card and play resumed.

There was as many rash challenges in the second half, but few chances until Larrivey latched onto a through ball and tucked it passed Ikeme on 65 minutes.

Despite some more tough tackling it was all hand shakes at the end, as both sides had to settle for the draw.

Wolves will face Norwich City in their opening Championship fixture on Sunday August 10.
