It means Wolves’s dream of returning to the top flight for the first time since 1984 is over despite a marvellous goal from Kevin Cooper.

In the second-half, Norwich were playing some nice stuff and Paul McVeigh tried to pick out Easton only for Oakes to intercept the cross.

Wolves, for so long in an automatic promotion spot, were looking short of confidence after a bright start.

There was an air of frustration around Molineux among their fans as the match progressed.

Certainly time was running out in their bid to turn the semi-final around and book a place in the final in Cardiff on Sunday week.

Holt then split the Wolves defence with a surging run, only to be robbed by fellow Scotland international Cameron.

Kennedy was struggling to make an impact.

Norwich were aware of threat he posed and closed him down every time he tried to make a run.

Roberts should have put Norwich ahead on the night, only to head wide in front of the posts following a cross from Easton.

Wolves made the breakthrough in the 76th minute and put themselves back in the tie in spectacular style.

Kevin Cooper picked out a loose ball 35 yards out and rattled an unstoppable shot past Green.

That reduced the aggregate to 3-2 to Norwich and Butler almost pulled Wolves level, only to see his header go wide.
