Iwelumo scored a hat-trick for Wolves against Preston North End in a 3–1 win, taking his goal tally to eight for the season, where he was also sent off for an apparent head-butt on defender Sean St Ledger.
La società fa ricorso contro questa decisione, ma questo viene respinto, nonostante St Ledger affermi che l'urto con la testa di Iwelumo sia stato accidentale.
