Fulham got its first two goals from summer aquisition Moussa Dembele but lost striker Bobby Zamora to a broken leg in the mid first half from a legal but rough tackle from Karl Henry. Henry was on the receiving end of angry tirade from Zamora's team-mate Clint Dempsey but it was a fair, if robust, challenge and the injury was more a result of ill-fortune than malice.
Wolves were berated throughout by home fans angry at their physical approach and their display, which resulted in a flurry of yellow cards in the second half, will be scrutinised.
But that will be of little consolation to Zamora, who only yesterday signed a new four-year contract that made him Fulham's best-paid player on a reported £50,000 per week.
The deal came with a ringing endorsement from Mark Hughes who underlined the importance to the club, but the Cottagers manager could now be missing his most influential player for some time.
Scoring Summary:
Fulham:
Moussa Dembele (49)
Moussa Dembele (90)
Wolverhampton Wanderers:
Jelle van Damme (10)
