Donovan Wilson wins it late for Wolverhampton Wanderers in Paris

By Daniel Lewis, Senior Reporter | 10 July 2015

Donovan Wilson's strike three minutes from time earns Wolverhampton Wanderers a 1-0 victory over Paris FC on their pre-season tour of France.

Wolverhampton Wanderers left it late for the second pre-season game running to see off Paris FC 1-0 this afternoon.

After beating FC Chambly 3-2 earlier this week, Kenny Jackett's men made it two from two thanks to Donovan Wilson's 87th-minute strike.

It was the Championship club who were on top in the early stages, as Nouha Dicko and Ethan Ebanks-Landell both came close to the opposition side's goal.

A misplaced pass by Jonathan Flatt allowed Romain Grange to fire away a rasping shot from range, which narrowly missed the target.

Benik Afobe and Dicko looked to continue the partnership which lit up the second tier last season, linking up on the left with 30 minutes played, but the latter fired over with his first-time attempt.

While Wolves remained on top for large parts of the contest, they were unable to truly trouble Vincent Demarconnay between the sticks at the Stade Charlety.

The Ligue 2 hosts continued to keep out their opponents, with Rajiv van La Parra getting in behind the defence on a couple of occasions, yet Wolves were made to wait until the dying stages to find a way through.

Wilson was the man to find a breakthrough, turning well inside the box before getting the better of Demarconnay to down Paris three minutes from time.
