That is all we have time for on Tribe as Wolves make light work of a potential slip-up in the Cup. I have been Elliot Thompson and thank you for joining me. Stay with us on Tribe for live coverage of Plymouth Argyle against Liverpool kicking off in just over 20 minutes.
Blackburn will be mostly annoyed about the Hyam header, which was flagged offside even though he looked like he was on. However, there was plenty of the game to be played after that, and their defence simply could not cope with the moments of quality that Wolves showed. They weren't helped with the continuous shaky moments from Toth in goal, who was at fault for the opener. Cantwell had a massive chance at the start of the second half, which would have given them hope, but Wolves kept them at an arms length throughout. Next up for them is an away league against West Brom.
WOLVES ARE THROUGH TO THE FA CUP FIFTH ROUND! A quick-fire double in the first half was all that was needed for Vitor Pereira's side to make sure he can give the fans his exhuberent fist pumps before going off the pitch. It was an end-to-end game at times but Wolves were never in any trouble as they had their two goal cushion. The opener came from Joao Gomes who was found by Hwang on the left side of the area. He showed some neat control then poked it through Toth who should have done a lot better. The second, just under a minuter later, came from the star man Cunha. Semedo found him on the right side of the box with a lovely first time pass. Cunha buried the ball into the bottom left corner with a swagger which he so usually possess. So it was a professional 90 minutes from Wolves which will please Pereira.

Rodrigo Gomes plays Sarabia into the box on the right side. He is one-on-one with Hyam, but his touch is a poor one, so the defender gets a foot in. It comes to Cunha, who tries to play in Munetsi, but he stumbles over before he can get a shot off.

SHOT! Woodrow backs into Agbdou, putting him on the floor so he gives away a free-kick. He takes a few seconds to get up and clips it forward. The loose ball bounces to Cunha on the edge of the area. Cunha passes it to Ait-Nouri to the left of him. Ait-Nouri slides in Sarabia. From a tight angle, he shoots, but it is deflected wide for a corner.
86'
SAVE! Toti Gomes drives forward with the ball yet again with some elegance. He gets to the edge of the area and passes it off to Cunha to his left. Cunha takes a touch beyond Rankin-Costello then shoots at the near post. Toth is up to this one as he stands tall to make the block.
84'
John Eustace has made another change taking Forshaw off for Ryan Hedges as he wants more attacking threat in the dying stages.
