Nuno Espirito Santo already had the look of a Bond villain and now he has the name. ‘One Doctor Nuno,’ rang out around Molineux as Wolves all-but confirmed seventh place by beating Fulham. The honourary doctorate presented to Nuno by the University of Wolverhampton before kick-off prompted the terraces to give him a new nickname, and it is one that could be heading into Europe next season. A third win in a row moves Wolves to four points clear of Everton with one game left. Only Leicester, who face Manchester City and Chelsea, can overtake them and even that requires Wolves losing at Liverpool on the final day. Leander Dendoncker scores Wolverhampton Wanderers' first goal of the match against Fulham Dendoncker celebrates scoring the goal with his Wolves team-mates in front of the home fans Fulham players look dejected as they watch Leander Dendoncker celebrate scoring his goal MATCH FACTS AND LEAGUE TABLE Wolves 3-5-2: Patricio (Norris 90); Bennett, Coady, Boly (Kilman 90); Doherty, Dendoncker, Neves, Moutinho, Castro (Vinagre 90); Jimenez, Jota Subs not used: Cavaleiro, Costa, Gibbs White, Traore Goals: Dendoncker 75 Yellows: Jota Fulham 4-2-3-1: Rico; Bryan, Ream, Le Marchand, Christie; Anguissa (Elliott 88), Chambers; Babel, Cairney, Sessegnon (Ayita 83); Mitrovic Subs not used: Kebano, Nordtveit, Mawson, Fabri, Sessgnon Yellows: Chambers, Le Marchand, Christie Premier League Premier League Championship League One League Two Scottish Premiership Scottish Div 1 Scottish Div 2 Scottish Div 3 Ligue 1 Serie A La Liga Bundesliga Should Manchester City beat Watford in the FA Cup final then Wolves will be on course for an early entry into the Europa League. That is some achievement having just come up from the Championship. Doctor Nuno indeed. Wolves may have only scored once here but Fulham were well beaten. Scott Parker’s side arrived having won three in a row without conceding but as Wolves cranked up the tempo this result always looked likely. The decisive moment came 15 minutes from time when Matt Doherty crossed for Leander Dendoncker and the Belgian struck a sweet volley. Raul Jimenez’s favourite wrestler Sin Cara was in attendance, with thousands of cardboard masks handed out to fans. The same mask Jimenez wore at Wembley to provoke Troy Deeeney’s ire. There was greater satisfaction this time. Wolverhampton Wanderers player Diogo Jota receives an early yellow card in the match Wolves' forward Diogo Jota has a shot on goal during the match, but can't quite score Wolverhampton Wanderers' Diogo Jota goes down after clashing with Fulham's Cyrus Christie Aleksandar Mitrovic is challenged by Leander Dendoncker of Wolverhampton Wanderers Jota was central to the early action. He went down on the edge of the box from a nick by Tim Ream, wanting a penalty. Nothing doing. But that clearly played a part in Jon Moss issuing Jota a yellow card for diving in the eighth minute. This time he burst into the area past Cyrus Christie, hurdling the challenge but then falling to the turf. Jota was also contributing positively. A brilliant disguised pass from Joao Moutinho freed Raul Jimenez and his backheel teed up Jota. Sergio Rico diverted wide Jota’s low shot. Moutinho was the supplier again when nipping at Calum Chambers’ heels to push the ball to Jota, who shifted it onto his left and cut an effort that skimmed past the post. Fulham's Maxime Le Marchand is shown a yellow card by referee Jonathan Moss Joe Bryan of Fulham has a strong shot but the ball is tipped over by goalkeeper Rui Patricio Wolverhampton Wanderers' Ruben Neves goes up under pressure from Fulham's Tom Cairney Twice in two minutes Moutinho delivered crosses from the left that ought to have given Wolves the lead. First Leander Dendoncker struck the bar, then Willy Boly put his over. The ball was slightly behind Boly so he had to arc his back but it was a very good chance. Fulham were focussed on containing but in a rare break Tom Cairney found Joe Bryan, who lashed a strike that Rui Patricio had to tip over. Parker’s side also had an excellent chance after the hour when Ryan Sessegnon beat the offside trap to cross to Aleksandar Mitrovic in space 12 yards out. But Mitrovic scooped his finish badly over. Diogo Jota reacts in frustration as yet another good chance for Wolves goes just wide Wolverhampton Wanderers' Joao Moutinho goes flying after a challenge from Fulham Aleksandar Mitrovic has a chance to score for Fulham but he lifts it over the crossbar instead Fulham's goalkeeper Sergio Rico gets down low to deny the shot from Wolves' Matt Doherty Fulham scoring would have been against the run of play. Wolves continued to create. Jota wasted a super opening when dragging his finish wide having been put clear by Jonny Otto, then Rico pushed wide a long-ranger from Ruben Neves. From the short corner Moutinho sent a cross high and deep so that it dropped perfectly for Doherty at the far post. Doherty watched the ball fall expertly and headed just inside the post but Rico scrambled across to turn behind. From that corner by Moutinho Raul Jimenez glanced over. Eventually the pressure told. Doherty exchanged a give and go with Moutinho down the right and picked out Dendoncker, who swept in majestically. It is the eighth assist Doherty has provided in an excellent personal season. Jota could have added gloss when letting rip with a half-volley, but Rico somehow deflected onto the bar.
