Boli has blown it
Ocampos punishes Raul pen howler
the bewildered defender. Jimenez’s casual approach with the kick is one of those where if it comes off you look the king of cool.
But when you do what he did, it just looks so bad.
He checked himself mid-run but keeper Bono was not fooled and when the striker tried to place it to his left rather than power it, he anticipated and beat it away.
After that Sevilla started to boss things but it would have been no more than Wolves deserved because they had the best of the first few minutes.
With only 90 seconds on the clock, Traore cut his way to the by-line and
■ (below) found Ruben Neves with a neat cross, but the midfielder could not get any power on the header.
Minutes later, Joao Moutinho clipped a free-kick towards the penalty spot but though Leander Dendoncker got to it, his shot flew wide of the post.
The penalty miss seemed to spark Sevilla into action and they suddenly started to go on the front foot.
Suso hit a powerful 25-yard left-foot effort which forced Patricio to save full stretch.
The Spaniards finished the half much the stronger and were unlucky not to have gone in ahead when Ocampos curled a shot just wide and
Patricio then made a smart save at his post to keep out Youssef En-nesyri’s close-range toe-poke.
The Portugal stopper then made a brilliant flying tip over to keep out Banega’s free-kick.
But Ocampos had the final word.

Hoops bosses have launched an internal investigation, with Lennon blasting £3m Bolingoli as “selfish”.
Lennon said: “I am livid. It was a total betrayal of trust.
“Boli took a flight to Spain on Monday and flew back on Tuesday.
“He decided to keep it to himself and put everyone at risk.
“Then the story broke yesterday and he came clean. We were absolutely livid, appalled.
“We feel sorely let down. He blatantly disregarded my and the club’s instructions. He put everybody at risk, the Kilmarnock players and staff as well.”
