Wolves 1 (Keogh-pen 83)
Morecambe 3 (Baker-pen 61, Newby 92, Thompson 105)
Wolves were embarrassingly dumped out of the Carling Cup after losing 3-1 at Molineux to League new boys Morecambe.
Two goals in extra-time saw the Lancashire side through to the third round of the competition and there could be no doubting that they were full value for their victory.
Mick McCarthy made wholesale changes for the game with just four of the team that started against Blackpool - Andy Keogh, Freddy Eastwood, Kevin Foley and Michael Gray retaining their places. Gray played in the left of midfield rather than his accustomed full-back role.
The first corner of the game went Wolves' way after a misplaced back pass from Adam Yates. Gray's flag kick fell to Karl Henry on the far side of the box and his headed return into the heart of the area fell to Eastwood whose hooked shot was blocked with penalty appeals for hands being waved aside by the referee.
Gray had a chance when he sprinted into the box from the left but he screwed his shot wide of the near post.
Michael Twiss found the net with a tenth minute header but the linesman had flagged for offside before Carl Baker had crossed the ball.
The Morecambe defence were working well as a unit restricting Wolves' opportunities. Keogh did manage to get a shot in from the edge of the area but the ball flew straight into the arms of Joe Lewis in the Shrimps goal.
Damien Allen cleared Gray's cut back but it was the visitors who almost broke through in the 21st minute when a tremendous angled shot from Craig Stanley smacked against the face of the bar and bounced to safety.
Twiss' run into the area was halted by Neill Collins' challenge with the referee ignoring appeals for obstruction from the visiting players, and then Twiss hit an angled drive that Graham Stack gathered easily.
Morecambe skipper Jim Bentley was booked after a tackle from behind on Keogh then, three minutes before the break, Foley was denied by a tremendous reflex save by Lewis who turned aside the defender's close range header following a Charlie Mulgrew cross.
From Gray's corner Rob Edwards caught Lewis prompting a brief flare up. Edwards was shown the yellow card before order was restored.
Just before the break Keogh wasn't far off the mark when he let fly from an acute angle on the left.
Half-Time: Wolves 0 Morecambe 0
Darren Potter was an interval replacement for Stephen Gleeson and the opening minutes of the new half saw more urgency from Mick McCarthy's men as they finally started to peg the visitors back.
Potter was high and wide with a shot on the run from 22-yards and then great work from Keogh, who went past three challenges as he worked his way into the Morecambe box, ended with a short pass to Eastwood who found the net but was ruled offside.
With an hour's play gone Morecambe were awarded a penalty after Twiss had broken clear. He sprinted into the box and when down as Stack tried to reach the ball with a full length dive.
The referee immediately pointed to the spot and brandished the yellow card at Stack who furiously remonstrated that Twiss had dived. But Baker wasn't phased by the occasion and he easily netted from the spot.
Michael Kightly was immediately introduced in place of Elliott Bennett.
Henry got underneath a centre from Gray and his header went over before Lewis caught an Edwards effort on the line after a Kightly corner.
In the 70th minute Twiss wasted a chance of virtually sealing the game for The Shrimps when he was wide with a free header at the far post after Garry Thompson had fired over centre in from the right.
In a heavy Wolves attack, Eastwood and then Keogh had shots blocked in quick succession and then Kightly turned and fired wide of the far post after Keogh had headed the ball on.
Denes Rosa came on to replace Mulgrew with Gray dropping back into defence before Wolves drew level in the 83rd minute. Keogh was felled by David Artell in the Morecambe box and the striker got up to send Lewis the wrong way from the spot.
Eastwood glanced a header across the face of the visitors goal after connecting with a Rosa centre, and Stanley drove over from 25-yards at the other end.
90 minutes: Wolves 1 Morecambe 1
Just two minutes into extra-time Morecambe regained the lead. Matthew Blinkhorn sprinted to the edge of the Wolves area and when the ball broke to Jon Newby, the Morecambe substitute scored even though he failed to make a proper connection. Stack got his fingers to the ball but it trickled agonisingly over the line.
Lewis then fumbled a low shot from Eastwood but, with the help of Artell, he managed to force the ball behind before Kightly could take advantage.
Thompson flashed a shot narrowly wide but, after two of his team-mates had been booked, he gave Morecambe a two goal cushion.
Lewis was yellow carded for time wasting and Danny Adams for a heavy challenge on Kightly before Thompson struck in the final minute of the first half of extra time, lobbing the ball over Stack after a through pass from Garry Hunter.
The nearest Wolves came to a goal in the dying stages of a game was when Rosa cut into the area before firing wide. By that time, most of the home supporters were on their way home.
