Jack Taylor’s last-gasp header earned Ipswich a priceless win at Molineux that also increases the pressure on Wolves manager Gary O’Neil.

The substitute’s 93rd-minute winner gave the Tractor Boys their second victory of the season and saw tempers flare on the pitch between the two sides at full-time.

Matheus Cunha looked like he had rescued a point for Wolves after Matt Doherty’s calamitous own goal put Ipswich ahead.

Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri were involved in confrontations with Ipswich staff and players on the pitch immediately after the final whistle while the home fans turned on the club’s owners, Fosun.

O’Neil was backed by chairman Jeff Shi this week but, despite the support, an 11th defeat in 16 Premier League games has left the head coach in dangerous position.

He watched helplessly as second bottom Wolves conceded a comical opener and they are now three points behind Ipswich and four from safety.

The third bottom Tractor Boys are a point behind Crystal Palace, who go to Brighton on Sunday.

Kieran McKenna’s side came close to adding to their advantage through Wes Burns and Liam Delap after earlier profiting from a huge slice of fortune for their 15th-minute opener.

Delap’s cross caused problems and Doherty cleared Omari Hutchinson’s goalbound effort away, only to score a hapless own goal seconds later when Toti Gomes’ clearance from Conor Chaplin’s shot hit him and rolled in.

The Molineux mood darkened. There had already been chants against Fosun and Shi and they continued into the second half.

The owners have curbed spending on players at Molineux – O’Neil highlighted after Monday’s 2-1 defeat at West Ham they have sold £200m of talent in the past 18 months – with Wolves’ problems going deeper and pre-dating the manager.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Jorgen Strand Larsen wasted the hosts’ best chances before, just as the atmosphere was turning toxic, Cunha levelled with 18 minutes left when he drilled in from Goncalo Guedes’ pass.

Strand Larsen went close seven minutes from time and Cunha was also denied by Arijanet Muric.

But Taylor nodded in Jack Clarke’s corner in stoppage time, the 20th time Wolves have conceded from a set piece this season, to snatch victory.
