Wolverhampton stars Freddie Lindgren and Peter Karlsson sent Eastbourne to another home defeat in the Elite League tonight.

The Swedish pair were both unbeaten by home riders as title-chasing Wolves beat seventh-placed Eagles 51-39.

It was Eastbourne's fourth defeat in their last five home meetings and Wolves' second success in Sussex this year.

Neither Karlsson nor Lindgren were ever in much danger of losing their unblemished records.

They combined for 5-1s in heats 13 and 15 to ensure Wolves took a maximum four points.

Recent signing Daniel Nermark had a decent home debut for Eagles.

He won heat two, one of just four chequered flags for the hosts.

Having fallen six points down, they were given brief hope when Lewis Bridger and Simon Gustafsson combined for a 5-1 in heat ten.

Home skipper Davey Watt was hindered by a back muscle spasm suffered in his first ride.

Wolves, meanwhile, looked a very solid outfit as they went level on points with Swindon at the top of the table.

Eagles: Watt 10 (4), Bridger 7+1 (5), Gustafsson 7+1 (5), Woodward 4+2 (4), Nermark 4+1 (4), Dryml 4 (4), Kling 3+1 (4).

Wolverhampton: Karlsson 14+1 (5), Lindgren 13+2 (5), Skornicki 8+1 (4), Klindt 7 (4), Woffinden 6+1 (4), Proctor 3 (5), Kerr 0 (3).
