Brentford's hopes of qualifying for European football for the first time suffered a major blow as Wolves fought back to earn a 2-2 draw at the Gtech Community Stadium. Igor Thiago, fresh from his first Brazil call-up, scored his fourth goal in four games to put the hosts 2-0 up, but Wolves rallied through Adam Armstrong and substitute Tolu Arokodare.
Wolves, who have not won away in the league for 330 days, showed defiance despite being rooted to the bottom of the table. Armstrong pulled one back just before half-time, and Arokodare's header in the second half levelled the scores. The substitute also headed against the crossbar late on as Wolves pushed for a winner.
Brentford manager Keith Andrews expressed disappointment at his side's second-half performance. 'We didn't do the basics as well as we did in the first half and, ultimately, it cost us,' he said. Wolves boss Rob Edwards praised his team's fight: 'It's obviously a really difficult situation, though it's a hell of a lot better than giving up.'
The result leaves Brentford's European ambitions in jeopardy, while Wolves remain rooted to the bottom but showed signs of life in their battle against relegation.
