Wolves fight back to earn a point away to Brentford | OneFootball

Wolverhampton Wanderers fought back from two goals down to earn a point away to Brentford.

The home side went into this game as strong favourites with the Bees pushing for Europe and put themselves in an excellent position by the 37th minute.

The Bees took the lead in the 22nd minute after a fiercely whipped in cross from Keane Lewis-Potter that was headed into the corner by Michael Kayode.

That lead was doubled in the 37th minute after a long ball over the top from Caoimhin Kelleher that Dango Ouattara latched on to before squaring for Igor Thiago to have one of his easiest finishes of the season.

Wolves did pull one back just before the break though, albeit with some controversy. It seemed like José Sá picked up a back pass before eventually setting Jean-Ricner Bellegarde on his way with the Haitian then threading pass through for Adam Armstrong to make it 2-1 before the break.

The visitors eventually levelled the score in the 78th minute when João Gomes clipped in a ball for substitute Tolu Arokodare to convert just a few minutes after his introduction.

In the end it will very much feel like two points dropped for Keith Andrews' side who will no doubt have felt like they should have gone on to win comfortably after that second goal came in. The other sides competing for European places will no doubt be energised by this result.

For Wolves meanwhile it was another show of life but it is still too late for the bottom-of-the-league side.
