WOLVES BEAT SHREWSBURY 3-2 in the FA Cup tonight to reach the fifth round.
The Premier League side were inspired by an influential display from Irish international Matt Doherty, who registered two goals and an assist.
After Doherty’s opener, goals from James Bolton and Josh Laurent put the League One side ahead.
However, the Dubliner scored again in first-half stoppage time before providing the assist for Ivan Cavaleiro’s winner.
Nuno Espírito Santo’s side now face Championship outfit Bristol City in the next round.
Elsewhere tonight, QPR beat Portsmouth 2-0, with Matt Smith and Nahki Wells getting the goals.

Admittedly haven’t watched too many of Wolves’ games this season mainly just the highlights but at the moment he seems to be probably our best attacking threat. Mick needs to stick him at Right wing back or on the right wing
@COYBIG:
I have watched a few of their games. They are a very good side man. It’s great to have Irish lads playing there.

Could Ireland go 3 at the back with Coleman as the right sided centre back similar to what England did with Walker & Doherty then wing back
@Bruce Petty: I think it could suit him,. especially as he begins to slow up. We have a fair bit of depth in defense, Duffy is a cert to start. Then one of Keogh, Clarke, Egan, Lenihan. Playing with wing backs, it would allow three in midfield and two up front. Question is who would play on the left?. Cunningham, Christie, Ward or Stevens??.
@Bruce Petty: Coleman has being very poor this season, lost a yard of pace since injury.
