Wolves 1 (Stearman 90)
Doncaster Rovers 0
Richard Stearman's injury time header put the icing on the cake of Wolves' promotion party at Molineux.
Mick McCarthy's men had already captured the Championship crown before the game began but Stearman's goal, his first for the club, sent a crowd that was already celebrating into seventh heaven.
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake returned in place of Marlon Harewood and Stearman made his first start since the middle of February at right-back. Kevin Foley moved into midfield replacing George Friend.
George Elokobi was named as one of the substitutes - his first involvement since the knee injury he picked up at Ipswich last August.
Molineux was packed to the rafters, the weather was sunny and the atmosphere carnival like as Doncaster graciously formed a guard of honour and applauded the League Champions out onto the pitch.
Wolves kicked-off attacking the South Bank end and they enjoyed most of the attacking play in a lively but chanceless opening ten minutes.
The first corner of the game, taken by Matt Jarvis and played short to Andy Keogh, came to nothing and then James Chambers cleared from Keogh as the pair chased down Karl Henry's through ball.
Jarvis made a diagonal run into the box but his backheel to Ebanks-Blake was blocked, and when Doncaster went on the attack Christophe Berra had to turn the ball behind after John Spicer delivered a dangerous low cross.
From Martin Woods corner the ball was only half cleared and when Spicer threaded the ball through to James Hayter he looked certain to score until Jody Craddock threw himself into the path of the ball to block.
Henry took the ball out of defence and then planted an over the top pass in front of Keogh who quickly passed to Jarvis. The winger cut in to try and work a shooting angle but a defender ran in to clear.
In the 28th minute Stephen Ward was tripped by Richie Wellens as he ran onto a return pass from Keogh who took the resultant free-kick from 25-yards. But the ball hit the defensive wall and bounced to safety.
Five minutes later Ebanks-Blake laid a short pass to Foley who sprinted into the area and hit a low shot that struck the outside of the near post and ran behind.
Ebanks-Blake won a corner off Jos Van Nieuwstadt and from Dave Edwards' flag-kick Craddock got a head to the ball but Neil Sullivan ran from his line to claim.
Half-Time: Wolves 0 Rovers 0
Two minutes after the resumption Berra almost deflected a cross into his own goal. Wayne Hennessey got down to save and after a scramble in a congested six-yard box, Hayter struck his shot wide.
In the 56th minute the keeper made a brilliant reflex save from Hayter's header. Ebanks-Blake was penalised for a challenge on Wellens just to the right of the home area.
Woods fired the free-kick into the middle and Hayter ran in to power a header that looked destined for the corner of the net until Hennessey somehow managed to paw it away.
Stearman delivered a centre that wasn't too far away from the far post before Mick McCarthy made a change replacing Jarvis with Sam Vokes and, shortly afterwards, Ashley Hwemmings went on in place of Ebanks-Blake.
Woods almost broke the deadlock with a 22-yard drive that flashed inches wide and then substitute Lewis Guy got the better of Craddock to get in a shot that Hennessey blocked before Craddock completed the clearance.
Sullivan took a shot on the turn from Edwards and then the former Spurs man turned a 20-yard drive from Henry around the post.
A swashbuckling run down the left from Ward was followed by a cross that Keogh got a head to but couldn't direct towards goal, and then, with five minutes remaining, there was loud applause and cheering as Elokobi made a welcome return coming on as a substitute for Edwards.
In the second of the three added minutes Stearman won it for Wolves as he rose at the far post to direct a header into the net after a short corner from Henry had been played to Ward who supplied an inch perfect cross.
