10: Good chance for Molyneux!

Luke Molyneux is almost caught off guard as the ball drops fortuitously to him following a poor defensive header by Wycombe. The Pools forward goes for an early shot with Wycombe goalkeeper Adam Pryzbek off his line but scuffs it and it’s an easy claim for the man in between the sticks.
